1.3 million soldiers, counting Israel and Judah.
Quote:2 Sam 24:9 And Joab gave up the sum of the number of the people unto the king: and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men that drew the sword; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.
Now Rome, by contrast, at its height, had some 35 legions (about 5,500 soldiers each). This means Rome would have an army of 200,000 soldiers.
This means the ancient Israeli imperial army was 6 times the size of Rome at her height.
Now why can't I find any evidence of this grand Davidic empire in my history books? Must be all those atheist historians trying to keep us from the truth.
P.S. Minimalist, can you correct my figures on Rome if I'm wrong? Thanks.
