# the commanders of hundreds
|
|
|
|
The phrase "commander of hundreds" is probably an official title for a military officer. Possible meanings are 1) the word "hundreds" represents the exact amount of soldiers that these commanders led. AT: "the commanders of 100 soldiers" or 2) the word translated as "hundreds" does not represent an exact number, but is the name of a military division. AT: "the commanders of military divisions" See how you translated this in [2 Chronicles 23:1](./01.md). (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])

# the city was quiet
|
|
|
|
Here "the city" represents the people of the city, and "quiet" represents peace, since no one opposed Joash after Athaliah died. AT: "the people of the city were at peace" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
