SCRIPTURE

"And the children of Israel were mustered, and were victualled, and went against them: and the children of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country." — 1 Kings 20:27 (ASV)

And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all
present
The same as before; the two hundred and thirty two young men of the princes of the provinces, and 7000 of the people, not one was missing:

and went against them ;
out of Samaria, towards Aphek:

and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks
of kids :
being few and weak, the two hundred and thirty two young men in one body, and the 7000 in another:

but the Syrians filled the country:
with their men, their horses, and their chariots.
