Study note
Setting — The Chronicler records the administrative details of King Uzziah’s military organization immediately after describing his army’s deployment by assigned divisions.
The words — כֹּ֠ל (kol) = all; חָ֔יִל (Cha.yil) = strength, which the text uses to quantify the family leaders of the mighty men of valor.
The thread — This headcount connects directly to the broader military record in 2 Chronicles 26:11 and the total force of 307,500 in 2 Chronicles 26:13.
Why it lands — The verse demands recognition of how biblical narratives preserve precise institutional data alongside royal biography.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
