And the prince of the kinges armie was Ioab.Post Achitophel fuit Jojada filius Banaiæ, et Abiathar. Princeps autem exercitus regis erat Joab.
27:1
Now. This list is entirely of a political nature. It seems to have been made before David had obtained the throne of Israel, (ver. 7.) though perhaps the monthly division did not comprise 24,000, before that time. This regulation was very excellent, and enabled the king to have an army of 300,000 men, at a short notice. It was not attended with any material inconvenience to the people, as none were on service above a month.
Hands. Commanders in chief.
Captains. Twenty-four in number, with 240 centurions under them.
Calmet
Officers. Hebrew shoterim. Septuagint, "scribes," whose employment is not well ascertained. They perhaps acted as commissaries, or kept an account of the king's troops, and reviewed them. (Calmet)
Septuagint, "and scribes serving the people, and the king's orders respecting the divisions, both coming in and going out, monthly, throughout the year. One division comprised 24,000 men.
27:2
Haydock
Jesboam. Hebrew, "Jashobham," as [in] 1 Paralipomenon 11:11. He was the first after Joab, (Haydock) and a descendant of Pharez, like David, and waiting upon the king in the month of Nisan, which almost agrees with our March (Menochius) and April. (Haydock)
Zabdiel, the Hachmonite, may therefore denote his country; (Kennicott) or Zabdiel might be his ancestor, though the same man has frequently different names. We find several companions of this general in the sequel.
27:4
Calmet
Dudia, or Dodi, the father of Eleazar, 1 Paralipomenon 11:12. (Calmet)
Tirinus
After him, his substitute. (Tirinus)
Haydock
Hebrew, "and Macelloth, chief also of his course, consisting likewise of 24,000." (Haydock)
27:5
Calmet
Priest. This we read no where else, so that some understand, "a chief officer at court," 2 Kings 8:18. (Calmet)
Menochius
But he might be (Haydock) of the tribe of Levi. (Menochius)
His exploits are mentioned, 1 Paralipomenon 11:21.
27:6
Salien
Company, in his absence, (Haydock) as lieutenant. (Salien)
27:7
Calmet
After him. He acted under his father, and succeeded (Menochius) to Asahel's post, after Abner had slain him, 2 Kings 2:23., and 23:24. (Calmet)
27:8
Calmet
Samaoth. Perhaps Samma, or Sammoth of Arodi, or Arari; places with which we are not acquainted, unless they denote some of his progenitors. Jazer is well known. (Calmet)

27:16
Tirinus
Chiefs, by their birth-right. The former were chosen for merit. (Tirinus)

Calmet
Heaven. It would have seemed, therefore, as if David distrusted the divine promise, (Haydock) and attempted what was impossible (Grotius) or useless. (Calmet)
Worthington
He had before offended, and hence would now only number those who were wanted. (Worthington)
27:24
Year of the World 2987, Year before Christ 1017.
Number, those above 20; but he acted with reluctance, (Tirinus) and the wrath of heaven prevented the entire completion of the king's order, 1 Paralipomenon 21:6., and 2 Kings 24:9.
Calmet
David. It would hence appear that the list was perfected, but not delivered to the king. The commissioners retained some of the lists; and, perhaps, from these, Esdras has inserted what relates to Benjamin, (chap. 7:6.) as the account was not given in 1 Paralipomenon 21:6. (Calmet)
Haydock
This list may, however, have been made at another time; as we are informed that Benjamin and Levi were not numbered. (Haydock)
Du Hamel
The Book of Kings, where we find it, is therefore a different work. (Du Hamel)
27:25
Calmet
Treasures of gold, etc., as those of provisions had other officers. (Calmet)
Haydock
Were in. Hebrew and Septuagint add, "the fields, in the cities," etc. (Haydock)
This must be understood of corn; wine is mentioned afterwards. Nothing could give us a higher opinion of David's wisdom than these details.
27:26
Haydock
Ground, for the king. This was done at the expense of the nation, and by the people, no less than the vintage, 2 Kings 8:12.

27:27

16. Moreover, they presided over the tribes. Here are enumerated the princes of each of the twelve tribes, who were their firstborn. But truly the princes of the militia were not these firstborn, but men distinguished in courage, strength and military knowledge, and therefore selected by David.
27:23
23. Because upon this the wrath (of God) broke out upon Israel. For God, on account of the people numbered by David, sent a plague which consumed 70 thousand. See the remarks on II Kings, the last chapter.
27:34
34. After Ahithophel was Jehoiada the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar. That is to say, to Ahithophel, the counselor of David, who ended his life by a noose, succeeded Jehoiada and Abiathar the High Priest, who were among the intimate counselors of David.
