Numbers 31:14

WEB

Moses was angry with the officers of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds, who came from the service of the war.

KJV

And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.

Commentary

And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host,.... The general officers who had the command of the army, for there does not appear t o be anyone that was one general over the whole, otherwise the displeasure would have fallen upon him: with the captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle; rather "with" should be left out, not being in the text; and these captains only explain who the officers were, and these were one hundred and thirty two, as Aben Ezra observes; twelve who were captains over thousands, and were more properly the general officers; and one hundred and twenty over so many hundreds, into which the whole were subdivided.
