Then he mustered the servants of the governors of the districts , and they were 232 . And after them he mustered all the people of Israel , seven thousand .

So Ahab summoned the 232 junior officers under the provincial commanders. Then he assembled the rest of the Israelites, 7,000 in all.

Then he numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two : and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
