Gill's Notes on the Bible
With twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen; and the people were without number,.... The foot soldiers; their number, according to Josephus h was 400,000:
that came with him out of Egypt; the above numerous army came from thence with him, which was famous for horses and chariots of war, see
Exodus 14:7, what follow seem to have joined him after he came out of Egypt, or whom he subdued in his way; the Lubim or Lybians, inhabitants of Libya, a country near Egypt the same with the Lehabim; of whom see
Genesis 10:13,
the Sukkiims; who were either the Scenite Arabs, who dwelt in tents, as this word signifies; or the Troglodytes, according to the Septuagint and Vulgate Latin versions, who dwelt in dens and caves, in which sense the word "Succah" is sometimes used, Job 38:40 and in their country was a town called Suchae, mentioned by Pliny i; they inhabited near the Red sea; and if Shishak is the same with Sesostris, as is thought, these people were subdued by him, as Herodotus k and Strabo l testify:
and the Ethiopians; some think these were the Cushite Arabs, and that Sesostris came into Arabia is testified by the above writers; though rather the proper Ethiopians are meant, since they are joined with the Lubim or Africans; and since, as Herodotus m says, he ruled over Ethiopia; and Diodorus Siculus n says he fought with them, and obliged them to pay him tribute.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
twelve hundred chariots - This number is not unusnal (compare Exodus 14:7; 1 Kings 10:26). Benhadad brought 1,200 chariots into the field against Shalmaneser II; and Ahabhad at the same time a force of 2,000 chariots (compare the 1 Kings 20:1 note).
The Lubims or âLibyansâ Daniel 11:43, were a people of Africa, distinct from the Egyptians and the Ethiopians dwelling in their immediate neighborhood. They were called Ribu or Libu by the Egyptians. See Genesis 10:13.
Sukkiims - This name does not occur elsewhere. The Septuagint, who rendered the word âTroglodytes,â regarded the Sukkiim probably as the âcave-dwellersâ along the western shore of the Red Sea; but the conjecture that the word means âtent-dwellersâ is plausible, and would point rather to a tribe of Arahs (Scenitae).
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Chronicles 12:3. The Lubims — Supposed to be a people of Libya, adjoining to Egypt; sometimes called Phut in Scripture, as the people are called Lehabim and Ludim.
The Sukkiims — The Troglodytes, a people of Egypt on the coast of the Red Sea. They were called Troglodytes, ΤÏÏÎ³Î»Î¿Î´Ï Ïαι, Î¿Î¹Ì ÏÎ±Ï ÏÏÏÎ³Î»Î±Ï Î¿Î¹ÎºÎ¿Ï Î½ÏεÏ, "because they dwelt in caves." - Hesych. This agrees with what Pliny says of them, Troglodytae specus excavant, haec illis domus; "The Troglodytes dig themselves caves; and these serve them for houses." This is not very different from the import of the original name ס×××× Sukkiyim, from ס×× sachah, to cover or overspread; (hence ס×× such, a tabernacle;) the people who were covered (emphatically) under the earth. The Septuagint translate by the word ΤÏÏÎ³Î»Î¿Î´Ï Ïαι, Troglodytes.
The Ethiopians. — ××ש×× Cushim. Various people were called by this name, particularly a people bordering on the northern coast of the Red Sea; but these are supposed to have come from a country of that name on the south of Egypt.
