But the Syrians fled before Israel; and David slew of the Syrians seven thousand men which fought in chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

Seven thousand men - (cf. 2 Samuel 10:18, which has 7,000 chariots.) Either the text in one of the books is corrupt (Keil, Davidson), or the accounts must be combined, giving this result: 7,000 horsemen, 700 chariots, and 40,000 footmen (Kennicott, Houbigant, Calmet).
