This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

a thousand: Twelve thousand in all - a small number in proportion to all Israel, or to the forces which they had to encounter. As they were under the conduct of captains of thousands and hundreds, they probably had no general; for Phinehas seems to have accompanied them simply to take charge of "the holy instruments;" probably the ark and silver trumpets.

Phinehas: Num 25:7-13

the holy instruments: Num 14:44, Num 33:20-22; Exo 25:9; Jos 6:4-6, Jos 6:13-15; 1Sa 4:4-5, 1Sa 4:17, 1Sa 14:18; 1Sa 23:9; 2Sa 11:11

to blow: Num 10:8-9; 2Ch 13:12-15
