Listen to 2 Samuele 23:18

2 Samuele 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 Samuele 23:18 In-Context

16 E i tre prodi s’aprirono un varco attraverso al campo filisteo, attinsero dell’acqua dal pozzo di Bethlehem, vicino alla porta; e presala seco, la presentarono a Davide; il qual però non ne volle bere, ma la sparse davanti all’Eterno,
17 dicendo: "Lungi da me, o Eterno, ch’io faccia tal cosa! Beverei io il sangue di questi uomini, che sono andati là a rischio della loro vita?" E non la volle bere. Questo fecero quei tre prodi.
18 Abishai, fratello di Joab, figliuolo di Tseruia, fu il capo di altri tre. Egli impugnò la lancia contro trecento uomini, e li uccise; e s’acquistò fama fra i tre.
19 Fu il più illustre dei tre, e perciò fu fatto loro capo; nondimeno non giunse ad eguagliare i primi tre
20 Poi veniva Benaia da Kabtseel, figliuolo di Jehoiada, figliuolo di Ish-hai, celebre per le sue prodezze. Egli uccise i due grandi eroi di Moab. Discese anche in mezzo a una cisterna, dove uccise un leone, un giorno di neve.
