Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

fled before Israel		1Ch 19:13,14; Psa 18:32; Psa 33:16; Psa 46:11
seven thousand		"In the parallel passage, ""the men of seven hundred chariots;"" which difference probably arose from mistaking [Nûwn] noon final , which stands for 700, for [Zayin] zayin, with a dot above, which denotes 7,000, or vice versa: the great similarity of these letters might easily cause the one to be mistaken for the other."
footmen		If these troops were as we have suppose, a kind of dismounted cavalry, the terms footmen and horsemen might be indifferently applied to them. 2Sa 10:18; horsemen
