In the Hebrew it is read that the Beniamites had .xxvi. thousand soldiers. But in the latin interpretation are put only .xxv. thousand, for this cause as I suppose, because in that last conflict wherein the Beniamites were overthrown, we read only of .xxv. thousand that were slain. Wherefore if a man compare the first number with the latter, there are a thousand over, whom other think that when their host was discomfited, and things past all hope, they turned back & fled into Europe. 1But Kimhi thinketh more rightly, that they were missing, when the Beniamites got the upper hand in those two first conflicts. For it is not credible that they so overcame, that they lost none of their soldiers. Wherefore if thou add them unto the .xxv. thousand, which fell in the third battle, then is the whole number of .xxvi. thousand explete. These things I know are of small weight: which yet I thought good to note, because the Rabbins have written many things of them, and the translations do differ.

But in the latin interpretaciō are put onely .xxv. thousād, for this cause as I suppose, bicause in that last conflict wherein the Beniamites were ouerthrowen, we reade onely of .xxv. thousand that were slaine. Wherfore if a man compare the first number with the latter, there are a thousand ouer, whom other thinke that when their host was discomfited, and thinges past all hope, they turned backe & fled into Europe. 1But Kimhi thinketh more rightlye, that they were myssing, when the Beniamites got the vpper hand in those twoo first conflictes. For it is not credible that they so ouercame, that they lost none of their soldiours. Wherfore if thou adde them vnto the .xxv. thousand, which fel in the third battail, then is the whole number of .xxvi. thousande explete. These thinges I knowe are of smal waight: which yet I thought good to note, bicause the Rabbines haue written many thinges of them, and the translacions do differ.
