2 Samuel 23:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Samuel 23:13

And three of the thirty chiefs went down
Or three that were chief of the thirty, superior to them; which some understand of the three before mentioned, so Josephus ^F23; and that having related some particular exploits of theirs, here observes one, in which they were all concerned; and others think the three next are meant, of whom Abishai was the chief, Benaiah the next, and the third Asahel; but the first sense is best:

and came to David in the harvest time, unto the cave of Adullam;
not when he was there, upon his flight from Saul, ( 1 Samuel 22:1 ) ; but after he was king, when engaged in war with the Philistines; perhaps wheat harvest is here meant:

and the troop of the Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim;
the army of the Philistines, as the Targum; of the valley of Rephaim, (See Gill on Joshua 15:8).

11 Depois dele, Samá, filho de Agé, de Harar. Os filisteus reuniram-se em Leí, onde havia uma plantação de lentilha. O exército de Israel fugiu dos filisteus,

12 mas Samá tomou posição no meio da plantação, defendeu-a e derrotou os filisteus. O SENHOR concedeu-lhe uma grande vitória.

13 Durante a colheita, três chefes do batalhão dos Trinta foram encontrar Davi na caverna de Adulão, enquanto um grupo de filisteus acampava no vale de Refaim.
