This could mean: (1) these numbers represent the exact amount of soldiers that these commanders led. Alternate translation: [the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers] or (2) the words translated as [thousands] and “hundreds” do not represent exact numbers, but are the names of larger and smaller military divisions. Alternate translation: [the commanders of large military divisions and the commanders of smaller military divisions] See how you translated this in 1 Chronicles 13:1.
