Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) Caught a young man.--Comp. Judges 1:24.Described.--Marg. writ, i.e.: the boy wrote down their names (LXX., apegrapsato; Vulg., descripsit).Threescore and seventeen.--Perhaps a sort of local Sanhedrin of Seventy (Numbers 11:16), with their presiding sheykhs. The number shows that Succoth was a place of considerable importance.
