Ch1 11:11, Ch1 11:12, Ch1 27:2, Ch1 27:32; It is highly probable that in this version instead of yoshaiv bashshaiveth tachkemoni, we should read yoshavam ben chachmoni, "Joshebeam, son of Hachmoni;' and instead of hoo adino haetzni, hoo orair eth chanitho, "he lift up his spear," which are the readings in the parallel place in Chronicles, where it is also, "three hundred," instead of "eight hundred."

three: etc. or, the three captains over the thirty, Ch1 11:15-19 Shalishim, "captains," should most probably be read, instead of shaloshim̀ thirty shalishim, as it is in Sa2 23:8, and Exo 14:7; where LXX render τριστατας, which Jerome (on Ezek. 33) says "among the Greeks is the name of the second rank after the royal dignity."

thirty and seven in all: From the number of these officers being thirty-seven, it is almost self-evident that shalishim cannot denote the thirty, as rendered in Sa2 24:13, etc., but some particular description of men, or officers; for it can scarcely be said, with propriety, that we have thirty-seven out of thirty; and besides, in the parallel place in 1Chronicles, there are sixteen added!
