This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
God’s host; so the angels are justly called for their great number, Dan_7:10 Luk_2:13, excellent order, mighty power, and for their use and service to God, and to his church, for whose protection they are sent. See 2Ki_6:17 Psa_34:7.
Mahanaim, i.e. two hosts; so called, either because the angels divided themselves into two companies, and placed themselves some before, others behind him, or some on each side of him, for his greater comfort and security; or because the angels made one host, and his family another.
