Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 25 of 2 Chronicles. Amaziah organizes his army and hires mercenaries from the north, but a prophet orders him not to take them to war because God is not with Israel. The king obeys and gains victory with his own men. The financial loss from dismissing the mercenaries also illustrates the practical cost of obedience when an investment has already been made.

Und Amazja brachte zuhauf Juda und stellte sie nach ihren Vaterhäusern, nach den Obersten über tausend und über hundert unter ganz Juda und Benjamin, und zählte sie von zwanzig Jahren und darüber und fand ihrer dreihunderttausend auserlesen, die ins Heer ziehen und Spieß und Schild führen konnten.
Juntó luego Amasías a Judá, y con arreglo a las familias púsoles tribunos y centuriones por todo Judá y Benjamín; y tomolos por lista de veinte años arriba, y fueron hallados en ellos trescientos mil escogidos para salir a la guerra, que tenían lanza y escudo.
Amatsia rassembla les hommes de Juda et les plaça d'après les maisons paternelles, les chefs de milliers et les chefs de centaines, pour tout Juda et Benjamin; il en fit le dénombrement depuis l'âge de vingt ans et au-dessus, et il trouva trois cent mille hommes d'élite, en état de porter les armes, maniant la lance et le bouclier.
Poi Amasia adunò que’ di Giuda; e di quelli costituì, secondo le lor famiglie paterne, capi di migliaia, e capi di centinaia, per tutto Giuda e Beniamino; e li annoverò dall’età di vent’anni in su: e trovò ch’erano trecentomila uomini di guerra scelti, che portavano lancia e scudo.
E Amazias reuniu a Judá e os pôs segundo as casas dos pais, sob capitães de milhares, e sob capitães de cem, por todo o Judá e Benjamim; e os contou, de vinte anos para cima, e achou deles trezentos mil escolhidos que podiam sair à guerra, e manejar lança e escudo.
