Why does it say here 700 chariots, and in Divrei ha'Yamim I, 19:18 it says 7,000 chariots?

Radak: Here it counts only the choice chariots. Divrei ha'Yamim teaches that there were 7,000 in all.

2.

Malbim: Above (8:4) I explained. (Every chariot had 10 horses. Here it counts the number of chariots. Divrei ha'Yamim counts the number of horses in the chariots.)
