Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(8) And five of you shall chase an hundred.--This is a proverbial saying, corresponding to our phrase "A very small number, or a mere handful, shall be more than a match for a whole regiment." The same phrase, with different proportions to the numbers, occurs in other parts of the Bible (Deuteronomy 32:30; Joshua 23:10; Isaiah 30:17).
