And these are the numbers of them according to the house of their fathers: Of Judah, the captains of thousands; Adnah the chief, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand.

Cross-reference

2 Chronicles 26:13 records Uzziah's army of 307,500. Jehoshaphat's census aligns with this pattern of numbering Judah's forces.
