2 Samuel 23:18 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 23:18

And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was
chief among the three
Another triumvirate, of which he was the head:

and he lifted up his spear against three hundred, [and] slew [them];
Josephus F5 says six hundred; this seems to confirm the reading of ( 2 Samuel 23:8 ) , that the number eight hundred is right, for if it was only three hundred, Abishai would have been equal to one, even the first, of the former three; which yet is denied him in ( 2 Samuel 23:19 ) :

and had the name among three;
of which he was one; and he had the chief name among them, or was the most famous of them.

2 Samuel 23:18 In-Context

16 Então aqueles três valentes romperam pelo arraial dos filisteus, tiraram água da cisterna que está junto a porta de Belém, e a trouxeram a Davi; porém ele não quis bebê-la, mas derramou-a perante o Senhor;
17 e disse: Longe de mim, ó Senhor, que eu tal faça! Beberia eu o sangue dos homens que foram com risco das suas vidas? De maneira que não a quis beber. Isto fizeram aqueles três valentes.
18 Ora, Abisai, irmão de Joabe, filho de Zeruia, era chefe dos trinta; e este alçou a sua lança contra trezentos, e os matou, e tinha nome entre os três.
19 Porventura não era este o mais nobre dentre os trinta? portanto se tornou o chefe deles; porém aos primeiros três não chegou
20 Também Benaías, filho de Jeoiada, filho dum homem de Cabzeel, valoroso e de grandes feitos, matou os dois filhos de Ariel de Moabe; depois desceu, e matou um leão dentro duma cova, no tempo da neve.
