Alternate translation: "the commanders of 100 soldiers" or 2) the word translated as "hundreds" does not represent an exact number, but is the name of a military division. Alternate translation: "the commanders of military divisions" See how you translated this in 2 Chronicles 23:1. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-numbers)
