From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Though they be quiet and likewise many, yet thus shall they be cut down -Literally, “If they be entire,” i. e., sound unharmed, unimpaired in their numbers, unbroken in their strength, undiminished, perfect in all which belongs to war; “and thus many even thus shall they be mown down (or shorn), and he passeth away” . With might outwardly unscathed, “without hand”Daniel 2:34, and “thus many,” i. e., many, accordingly, as being unweakened; as many as they shall be, “so shall they be mown down, and he,” their head and king, “shall pass away and perish” (comparePsalms 48:4). Their numbers shall be, as their condition before, perfect; their destruction as their numbers, complete.
