18:8

[in the wood.]

That is, probably, many more were slain in pursuit through the wood than in the battle, by falling into swamps, pits, etc., and being entangled and cut down by David's men. Such is the relation of Josephus; but the Chaldee, Syriac, and Arabic state, that they were devoured by wild beasts in the wood.

memakan ... banyak ......... terlebih banyak(TB)/terlebih banyak ...... dimakan(TL) <0398 07235> [devoured more. Heb. multiplied to devour.]
