'Thousand' in the Bible

But let there be a space between you and it of about two thousand cubits: come no nearer to it, so that you may see the way you have to go, for you have not been over this way before.

About forty thousand armed for war went over before the Lord to the fight, to the lowlands of Jericho.

Then they came back to Joshua and said to him, Do not send all the people up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and make an attack on Ai; there is no need for all the people to be tired with the journey there, for it is only a small town.

So about three thousand of the people went up, and were sent in flight by the men of Ai.

So Joshua and the fighting-men got ready to go up against Ai; and Joshua took thirty thousand men of war, and sent them out by night.

And taking about five thousand men, he put them in position for a surprise attack on the west side of Ai, between Beth-el and Ai.

On that day twelve thousand were put to death, men and women, all the people of Ai.

One man of you is able to put to flight a thousand; for it is the Lord your God who is fighting for you, as he has said to you.
