[Greek or Hebrew], that is [Greek or Hebrew], (as the word is rendered by the LXX) is in the Evangelist [Greek or Hebrew], Princes, Rulers, Leaders. The Israelites in their political order were distributed into Tens, Hundreds, and Thousands, not unlike the distribution in our own Country, into Tithings, Hundreds, and Counties; and each portion had its peculiar Captain, Ruler, or Leader. According to this distribution, when there was a considerable number of a thousand, or more inhabiting together, they made a peculiar kind of Town or City, which had its special Chiliarch, or Governor. And these were called the Thousands of Israel or Judah; or places that had such a proportion of people belonging to them, and consequently such a special Ruler of their own; which kind of Rulers in the Common-wealth were alone taken notice of. Those others of Tens and Hundreds being under their Government. So that Rulers, and Thousands, denote one and the same thing; one with respect unto the people, the other unto the Governors of them.
