Slain - five hundred thousand chosen men - Query, fifty thousand? This was a great slaughter: see the note on 2 Chronicles 13:3, where all these numbers are supposed to be overcharged.

Barnes's 2-chronicles 13:17 Bible Commentary

Slain - The word means strictly "pierced," and will include both the killed and the wounded. It is translated "wounded" in Lamentations 2:12.
