the land of canaan to the time of the kings, the israelites made
little progress in military affairs, although often engaged in

8:4; 1 kings 10:26, 28, 29; 1 kings 9:19. in 1 kings 9:22 there

10:16, 17; judg. 20:10. at the exodus the number of males above
twenty years capable of bearing arms was 600,000 ex. 12:37. in
