Or what king, going out to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and deliberate whether he is able with ten thousand (chiliasin | χιλιάσιν | dat pl fem) troops to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand (chiliadōn | χιλιάδων | gen pl fem)?
to eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of captains (chiliarchōn | χιλιάρχων | gen pl masc), the flesh of mighty warriors, the flesh of horses and those who ride on them — the flesh of all, both free and slave, and small and great.”
Then the kings of the earth and the princes and the generals (chiliarchoi | χιλίαρχοι | nom pl masc) and the rich and the powerful and everyone — slave and free — hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains.
So on the next day when Agrippa and Bernice came with great pomp and entered the audience hall along with the commanding (chiliarchois | χιλιάρχοις | dat pl masc) officers and the prominent men of the city, and when Festus had given the order, Paul was brought in.
But Felix, knowing more exactly the facts concerning the Way, put them off, saying, “When Lysias the commanding (chiliarchos | χιλίαρχος | nom sg masc) officer comes down, I will decide your case.”
So the commanding (chiliarchos | χιλίαρχος | nom sg masc) officer dismissed the young man, charging him to tell no one that you have reported these things to me.”
The commanding (chiliarchos | χιλίαρχος | nom sg masc) officer (chiliarchos | χιλίαρχος | nom sg masc) took him by the hand, drew him aside and asked, “What is it that you have to report to me?”
So he took him and brought him to the commanding (chiliarchon | χιλίαρχον | acc sg masc) officer and said, “The prisoner Paul called me and asked me to bring this young man to you, as he has something to say to you.”
