1 Chronik 11:22-32

22 Benaja, der Sohn Jojadas, des Sohnes Is-Hails, von großen Taten, von Kabzeel, er schlug zwei Helden der Moabiter und ging hinab und schlug einen Löwen mitten im Brunnen zur Schneezeit.

23 Er schlug auch einen ägyptischen Mann, der war fünf Ellen groß und hatte einen Spieß in der Hand wie ein Weberbaum. Aber er ging zu ihm hinab mit einem Stecken und nahm ihm den Spieß aus der Hand und tötete ihn mit seinem eigenen Spieß.

24 Das tat Benaja, der Sohn Jojadas, und war berühmt unter drei Helden

25 und war der herrlichste unter den dreißig; aber an jene drei kam er nicht. David aber machte ihn zum heimlichen Rat.

26 Die streitbaren Helden sind diese: Asahel, der Bruder Joabs; Elhanan, der Sohn Dodos von Bethlehem;

27 Sammoth, der Haroriter; Helez, der Peloniter;

28 Ira, der Sohn Ikkes, der Thekoiter; Abieser, der Anathothiter;

29 Sibbechai, der Husathiter; Ilai, der Ahohiter;

30 Maherai, der Netophathiter; Heled, der Sohn Baanas, der Netophathiter;

31 Itthai, der Sohn Ribais, von Gibea der Kinder Benjamin; Benaja, der Pirathoniter;

32 Hurai, von Nahale-Gaas; Abiel, der Arbathiter;

1 Chronik 11:22-32 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO 1 CHRONICLES 11

This chapter treats of David's being anointed king by all Israel, 1Ch 11:1-3, which agrees with 2Sa 5:1-3 \\See Gill on "2Sa 5:1"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 5:2"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 5:3"\\ and of his taking Jerusalem from the Jebusites, 1Ch 11:4-9 the account of which we have 2Sa 5:6-10. \\See Gill on "2Sa 5:6"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 5:7"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 5:8"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 5:9"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 5:10"\\ only here we are told, that it was Joab that smote the Jebusites first, and so was made chief captain according to David's promise; and that he also repaired the rest of the city David built round about; perhaps the fortifications demolished in taking it, 1Ch 11:6,8 or rather, as others give the sense, he "saved alive" {b} those that remained in the city, after he had slain the lame and the blind; though a learned {c} writer conjectures it should be read, "and Joab hyhy was made rv the governor of the city"; and the Targum is,

``Joab governed the rest of the city.''

And then follows an account of David's mighty men and worthies, 1Ch 11:10-41 of whom see the notes on \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:8"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:9"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:10"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:11"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:12"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:13"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:14"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:15"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:16"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:17"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:18"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:19"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:20"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:21"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:22"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:23"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:24"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:25"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:26"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:27"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:28"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:29"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:30"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:31"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:32"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:33"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:34"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:35"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:36"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:37"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:38"\\ \\See Gill on "2Sa 23:39"\\ and others are added here, 1Ch 11:42-47 of whom we know no more than their names.
