Assessment
Disputed interpretation
Qualified scholars read the evidence in materially different ways, and the record does not settle between them. An interpretive or theological claim is described in words, never given a figure.

Why
This is a possible reading with a long history, not a demonstrated fulfilment. Calling it "fulfilled prophecy" without showing the four assumptions it requires, and without mentioning that a competing candidate fits the passage's own setting more economically, would misrepresent the state of the evidence. Nothing here shows the reading to be false; it shows how much has to be supplied to reach it.
