Dauid is elected and annointed king. 5. He ouerthroweth the Iebusites taking the towre of Sion in Ierusalem, and prospereth. 10. His valiant men, and their heroical actes are recited. 17. He desiring water from the cisterne of Bethleem, wil not drink it, but offereth it in sacrifice, because it is brought with danger of his valiant mens liues. 20. Other valiant men of the second order, are likewise recited.
1Then all Israel gathered themselves to David in Hebron, saying: We are thy bone, and thy flesh.Indi si raunò tutto Israele presso a David in Hebron, e gli dissero: Noi siam tue ossa, e tua carne.AL Israel therfore was gathered together to Dauid in Hebron, saying: We are thy bone, and thy flesh.Congregatus est igitur omnis Israël ad David in Hebron, dicens: Os tuum sumus, et caro tua. 2Yesterday also, and the day before when Saul was king, thou wast he that leddest out and broughtest in Israel: for the Lord thy God said to thee: Thou shalt feed my people Israel, and thou shalt be ruler over them.E anche per lo passato quando regnava Saul, eri tu, che conducevi in campo, e riconducevi a casa Israele: perocché a te disse il Signore Dio tuo: Tu pascerai il popol mio d'Israele, e sarai suo principe.Yesterday also, and the day before when Saul as yet reigned, thou wast he that didst leade out and leade in Israel: for to thee our Lord thy God sayd: Thou shalt feede my people Israel, and thou shalt be prince ouer it.Heri quoque et nudiustertius cum adhuc regnaret Saul, tu eras qui educebas et introducebas Israël: tibi enim dixit Dominus Deus tuus: Tu pasces populum meum Israël, et tu eris princeps super eum. 3So all the ancients of Israel came to the king to Hebron, and David made a covenant with them before the Lord: and they anointed him king over Israel according to the word of the Lord which he spoke in the hand of Samuel.Andarono adunque tutti i seniori d'Israele davanti al re in Hebron, e David fece con essi alleanza dinanzi al Signore: e lo unsero in re d'Israele, secondo la parola detta dal Signore per bocca di Samuele.Al the ancientes therfore of Israel came to the king into Hebron, and Dauid entred into a league with them before our Lord: and they annoynted him king ouer Israel, according to the word of our Lord, which he spake in the hand of Samuel.Venerunt ergo omnes majores natu Israël ad regem in Hebron, et iniit David cum eis fœdus coram Domino: unxeruntque eum regem super Israël, juxta sermonem Domini quem locutus est in manu Samuel. 4And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where the Jebusites were the inhabitants of the land.E Davidde se n'andò con tutto Israele a Gerusalemme: questa è Jebus, dove erano li Jebusei abitatori di quel paese.Dauid also went, and al Israel into Ierusalem this is Iebus, where the Iebuseites were the inhabiters of the land.Abiit quoque David et omnis Israël in Jerusalem: hæc est Jebus, ubi erant Jebusæi habitatores terræ. 5And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David: Thou shalt not come in here. But David took the castle of Sion, which is the city of David.E questi abitanti di Jebus dissero a Davidde: Non entrerai qua dentro. Ma David prese la fortezza di Sion, che fu poi la Città di David.And they that dwelt in Iebus, sayd to Dauid: Thou shalt not come in here. Moreouer Dauid tooke the towre of Sion, which is the Citie of Dauid,Dixeruntque qui habitabant in Jebus ad David: Non ingredieris huc. Porro David cepit arcem Sion, quæ est civitas David,
6And he said: Whosoever shall first strike the Jebusites, shall be the head and chief captain. And Joab the son of Sarvia went up first, and was made the general.Or egli avea detto: Chi sarà il primo a vincere li Jebusei, egli sarà principe, e capitano. E Gioab figliuolo di Sarvia salì il primo, e fu fatto principe.and he sayd: Euerie one that shal among the first strike the Iebuseite, shal be the prince and chiefe captayne. Ioab therfore the sonne of Saruia went vp first, and was made the prince.dixitque: Omnis qui percusserit Jebusæum in primis, erit princeps et dux. Ascendit igitur primus Joab filius Sarviæ, et factus est princeps. 7And David dwelt in the castle, and therefore it was called the city of David,E Davidde abitò nella fortezza, e per ciò ella fu chiamata Città di David:And Dauid dwelt in the towre, and therfore it was called the Citie of Dauid.Habitavit autem David in arce, et idcirco appellata est civitas David. 8And he built the city round about from Mello all round, and Joab built the rest of the city.Ed egli riedificò la città in tutto il suo giro da Mello sino all'altra estremità; e Gioab rifabbricò il resto della città.And he built the citie round about from Mello vnto a round compasse, and Ioab built the rest of the citie.Ædificavitque urbem in circuitu a Mello usque ad gyrum; Joab autem reliqua urbis exstruxit. 9And David went on growing and increasing, and the Lord of hosts was with him.E Davidde andava facendo progressi, e prendeva vigore, e il Signor degli eserciti era con lui.And dauid ptospered going and increasing, and the Lord of hostes was with him.Proficiebatque David vadens et crescens, et Dominus exercituum erat cum eo. 10These are the chief of the valiant men of David, who helped him to be made king over all Israel, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Israel.Questi sono i principali tra gli uomini forti di David, i quali gli diedero aiuto, perch'ei divenisse re di tutto Israele secondo la parola annunziata dal Signore ad Israele.These are the princes of the valiant men of Dauid, which holpe him to be made king ouer al Israel according to the word of our Lord, which he spake to Israel.Hi principes virorum fortium David, qui adjuverunt eum ut rex fieret super omnem Israël, juxta verbum Domini quod locutus est ad Israël. 11And this is the number of the heroes of David: Jesbaam the son of Hachamoni the chief among the thirty: he lifted up his spear against three hundred wounded by him at one time.E questo è il novero dei forti di Davidde: Jesbaam figliuolo di Hachamoni capo di trenta: egli imbrandì la lancia contro trecento persone, che egli ferì in una sola volta.And this is the number of dauids strong ones: Iesbaam the sonne of Hachamoni prince among thirtie: this man lifted vp his speare vpon three hundred wounded at one time.Et iste numerus robustorum David: Jesbaam filius Hachamoni princeps inter triginta: iste levavit hastam suam super trecentos vulneratos una vice.
12And after him was Eleazar his uncle’s son the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.E dopo di lui Eleazar (figliuolo del suo zio paterno), Ahohite, che era uno dei tre possenti.And after him Eleazar his vncles sonne an Ahohite, who was among the three mighties.Et post eum Eleazar filius patrui ejus Ahohites, qui erat inter tres potentes. 13He was with David in Phesdomim, when the Philistines were gathered to that place to battle: and the field of that country was full of barley, and the people fled from before the Philistines.Questi si trovò con Davidde a Phesdomim, quando i Filistei si raunarono colà per venire a battaglia: e i campi di quel paese erano tutti seminati di orzo, e il popolo avea voltate le spalle a' Filistei.This was with Dauid in Phesdomim, when the Philisthijms were gathered to that place into battel: and the field of that countrie was ful of barley, and the people was fled from the face of the Philisthimes.Iste fuit cum David in Phesdomim, quando Philisthiim congregati sunt ad locum illum in prælium: et erat ager regionis illius plenus hordeo, fugeratque populus a facie Philisthinorum. 14But these men stood in the midst of the field, and defended it: and they slew the Philistines, and the Lord gave a great deliverance to his people.Ma questi tennero fermo in mezzo ai campi, e li difesero: e avendo posti in rotta i Filistei, il Signore fece un benefizio grande al suo popolo.These stood in the middes of the fielde, and defended him: and when they had striken the Philistheans, our Lord gaue great health to his people.Hi steterunt in medio agri, et defenderunt eum: cumque percussissent Philisthæos, dedit Dominus salutem magnam populo suo. 15And three of the thirty captains went down to the rock, wherein David was, to the cave of Odollam, when the Philistines encamped in the valley of Raphaim.Questi tre dei trenta campioni andarono a quel masso, dove stava Davidde presso alla caverna di Odollam, quando i Filistei aveano gli alloggiamenti nella valle di Raphaim.And there went downe three of the thirtie princes to a rocke, wherin Dauid was, to the caue of Odollam, when the Philisthijms had camped in the Vale raphaim.Descenderunt autem tres de triginta principibus ad petram, in qua erat David, ad speluncam Odollam, quando Philisthiim fuerant castrametati in valle Raphaim. 16And David was in a hold, and the garrison of the Philistines in Bethlehem.E David era in quel suo posto: e una stazione di Filistei era in Bethlehem.Moreouer dauid was in a hold, and the ward of the Phelisthimes in Bethlehem.Porro David erat in præsidio, et statio Philisthinorum in Bethlehem.
17And David longed, and said: O that some man would give me water of the cistern of Bethlehem, which is in the gate.Davidde adunque mostrando il suo desiderio, disse: Oh chi mi desse dell'acqua della cisterna di Bethlehem, che è vicino alla porta!Dauid therfore desired and sayd: O that some man would giue me water of the cesterne of Bethlehem, which is in the gate.Desideravit igitur David, et dixit: O si quis daret mihi aquam de cisterna Bethlehem, quæ est in porta ! 18And these three broke through the midst of the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the cistern of Bethlehem, which was in the gate, and brought it to David to drink: and he would not drink of it, but rather offered it to the Lord,Allora questi tre passarono per mezzo al campo de' Filistei, e attinser l'acqua della cisterna di Bethlehem, che era vicino alla porta, e la portarono a David, perchè ne bevesse: ed egli nol volle fare, ma la offerse al Signore,These three therfore went forward through the middes of the campe of the Philisthimes, and drewe water of the cesterne of Bethlehem, which was in the gate, and brought it to Dauid to drinke: who would not, but tather offered it to our Lord,Tres ergo isti per media castra Philisthinorum perrexerunt, et hauserunt aquam de cisterna Bethlehem quæ erat in porta, et attulerunt ad David ut biberet. Qui noluit, sed magis libavit illam Domino, 19Saying: God forbid that I should do this in the sight of my God, and should drink the blood of these men: for with the danger of their lives they have brought me the water. And therefore he would not drink. These things did the three most valiant.Dicendo: Lungi da me il far cosa tale nel cospetto del mio Dio, che io beva il sangue di uomini tali, i quali ponendo a risico la loro vita mi han portata quest'acqua. Per questo egli non volle bere. Questa cosa fecero quei tre fortissimi uomini.saying: God forbid that in the sight of my God I should doe this, and should drinke the bloud of these men: because in the peril of their liues they haue brought me the water. And for this cause he would not drinke. These thinges did the three most valiantes.dicens: Absit ut in conspectu Dei mei hoc faciam, et sanguinem istorum virorum bibam: quia in periculo animarum suarum attulerunt mihi aquam. Et ob hanc causam noluit bibere: hæc fecerunt tres robustissimi. 20And Abisai the brother of Joab, he was chief of three, and he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he slew, and he was renowned among the three,Parimente Abisai fratello di Gioab era il primo di un ternario. Egli pure combattè colla sua lancia trecento uomini, e gli uccise; ed egli era famosissimo tra quei tre.Abisai also the brother of Ioab he was prince of three, and he lifted vp his speare agaynst three hundred wounded, and he was among three most renowned,Abisai quoque frater Joab ipse erat princeps trium, et ipse levavit hastam suam contra trecentos vulneratos, et ipse erat inter tres nominatissimus, 21And illustrious among the second three, and their captain: but yet he attained not to the first three.E il più glorioso, e capo di quei tre secondi; ma egli non agguagliò i tre primi.and among the second three he the noble one, and prince of them: but yet vnto the three first he taught not.et inter tres secundos inclytus, et princeps eorum: verumtamen usque ad tres primos non pervenerat.
22Banaias the son of Joiada a most valiant man, of Cabseel, who had done many acts: he slew the two ariels of Moab: and he went down, and killed a lion in the midst of a pit in the time of snow.Banaia di Cabseel figliuolo di Joiada uomo fortissimo, che avea fatto molte imprese: egli uccise i due arieti di Moab: ed egli pure calò in una cisterna, e in mezzo ad essa uccise un leone in tempo di nevata.Banaias the sonne of Ioiada a most valiant man, of Cabseel: who had done manie factes, he stroke the two ariel of Moab: and he went downe, and slewe the lion in the middes of the cisterne in the time of snow.Banaias filius Jojadæ viri robustissimi, qui multa opera perpetrarat, de Cabseel: ipse percussit duos ariel Moab, et ipse descendit et interfecit leonem in media cisterna tempore nivis. 23And he slew an Egyptian, whose stature was of five cubits, and who had a spear like a weaver’s beam: and he went down to him with a staff, and plucked away the spear, that he held in his hand, and slew him with his own spear.Egli pure uccise un Egiziano di statura di cinque cubiti, che aveva una lancia simile a un subbio da tessitori: ed egli andò contro di lui con un bastone, e gli strappò di mano la lancia, e con questa sua lancia l'uccise.And he storke the Aegyptian, whose stature was of fiue cubites, and which had a speare as the weauers beame: he therfore went downe to him with a rod, and by force tooke away the speare, that he held in his hand, and slewe him with his owne speare.Et ipse percussit virum ægyptium, cujus statura erat quinque cubitorum, et habebat lanceam ut liciatorium texentium: descendit igitur ad eum cum virga, et rapuit hastam quam tenebat manu, et interfecit eum hasta sua. 24These things did Banaias the son of Joiada, who was renowned among the three valiant ones,Queste cose fece Banaia figliuolo di Joiada, il quale era il più famoso dei tre campioni,These thinges did Banaias the sonne of Ioiada, who was among the three valiantes most renowned,Hæc fecit Banaias filius Jojadæ, qui erat inter tres robustos nominatissimus, 25And the first among the thirty, but yet to the three he attained not: and David made him of his council.Il primo di trenta; ma non agguagliava i tre primi: e Davidde lo fece suo confidente.the first among thirtie, but yet the three he raught not: and Dauid made him of his counsel.inter triginta primus, verumtamen ad tres usque non pervenerat: posuit autem eum David ad auriculam suam. 26Moreover the most valiant men of the army, were Asahel brother of Joab, and Elchanan the son of his uncle of Bethlehem,Nell'esercito poi i più valorosi erano Asael fratello di Gioab, ed Elcanan figliuolo di suo zio paterno, che era di Bethlehem;Moreouer the most valiant men in the armie, Asahel the brother of Ioab, and Elchanan the sonne of his vncle of Bethlehem,Porro fortissimi viri in exercitu, Asahel frater Joab, et Elchanan filius patrui ejus de Bethlehem, 27Sammoth an Arorite, Helles a Phalonite,Sammoth di Arori, Helles di Phalon;Sammoth an Arortie, Helles a Phalonite,Sammoth Arorites, Helles Pharonites, 28Ira the son of Acces a Thecuite, Abiezer an Anathothite,Ira figliuolo di Acces di Thecua, Abiezer di Anathoth;Ira the the sonne of Acces a Thecaite, Abiezer an Anathothite,Ira filius Acces Thecuites, Abiezer Anathothites, 29Sobbochai a Husathite, Ilai an Ahohite,Sobbochai di Husath, Ilai di Ahoh;Sobbochai an Husathite, Ilai an Ahohite,Sobbochai Husathites, Ilai Ahohites, 30Maharai a Netophathite, Heled the son of Baana a Netophathite,Maharai di Netophath.

Haydock
David. This name is written without i, in the books composed before the captivity, (the year before Christ 588) but i is inserted in the latter works, which is an argument against the antiquities of [Canticle of] Canticles, where the i is found. Yet the manuscripts vary so, that great stress is not laid on this (Kennicott) proof, and it is not sufficient weight to stand against the general opinion, which attributes that work to Solomon. (Haydock)
Flesh; related, as the children of Jacob.
11:3
Haydock
Which he spoke, is not expressed in Hebrew or Septuagint. Samuel complied with the injunction, by anointing David, 1 Kings 16:13. He also wrote an account of this memorable transaction, which translated the sceptre from one family to another. (Haydock)
Kennicott
It is, on this account, that the author here takes particular notice of God's decree. (Kennicott)
11:4
Year of the World 2957, Year before Christ 1047.
11:5
Here. In 2 Kings 5:6, the passage is much fuller, and attended with many difficulties. Kennicott would correct and translate it: "And they spake unto David, saying, Thou shalt not come hither: for the blind and the lame shall keep thee off, by saying, David shall not come hither. But David took the stronghold of Sion," (different from the citadel. Josephus) "which is the city of David. And David said, on that day, whosoever (first) smiteth the Jebusites, and, through the subterraneous passage, reacheth the blind and the lame, which are hated of David's soul, because the blind and the lame continued to say, he shall not come into this house---shall be head and captain. So Joab, the son of Zeruiah, went up first, and was head."
11:8
Year of the World 2958.
Kennicott
Round. He made a complete inclosure or fortification, as Mello denotes perfection, or completion, (Haydock) by building houses from the castle to the town beneath it. David begun at the very house (or citadel, 4 Kings 12:20.) from which the blind and the lame thought to have excluded him, and built all round, so as to make an entire communication. (Kennicott)
Watson
Built. Protestants, "repaired." Hebrew yechaye, (Haydock) "saved alive." (Syriac, etc.; Poole's Synop.) But probably shear is now written instead of shor, and jéje ought to be jeje. The long and the short e are easily confounded, (Haydock) and a is frequently thus inserted. (Watson)
Kennicott
"He built....round to the beginning of that circuit. And Joab was made governor of the city." (Kennicott)
Josephus
"And surrounding it with a wall, he appointed Joab superintendant of the walls." (Josephus, [Antiquities?] 7:3.)
The position of the vowel points in these words, might naturally cause this mistake, (Haydock) as it seems to have done on other occasions. Thus shor, "an ox," should be sar, "a prince," Genesis 49:6., and Osee 12:11. Shevarim, "oxen," has been read sarim, "princes," by the Septuagint. The former passage might admit of some corrections. "In their anger they slew the men, and in their fury (vabrothom; instead of vabrotsnom, which is always explained in a good sense) they destroyed the princes. Cursed be their anger, for it was fierce; and their fury, for it was inflexible."
11:9
Kennicott
Lord. 2 Kings adds God, more properly, as it seems always to have been inserted, though it is now wanting in two hundred places. (Kennicott, Dis. 1:p. 62 and 525.)
11:10
Haydock
These. Besides the help which David received immediately from God, he derived great assistance from Joab, the captain-general, from the six more renowned valiant men, and from the body of Thirty, as well as from fifteen others of less note, who are mentioned here. (Haydock)
11:11
Kennicott
Number. 2 Kings 23:8., the names. But the two authors do not always use the same terms. (Kennicott)
Du Hamel
Thirty, or three, (2 Kings) more correctly. (Du Hamel)
Three. 2 Kings, eight; (Haydock) probably by mistake.
Kennicott
Wounded, or rather soldiers. He encountered singly a whole regiment, though he might not kill them all; much less did he attack them, when already wounded. (Kennicott)
Haydock
Numbers have often been expressed by letter in Hebrew, as well as in Greek and other languages. Our numeral figures are not liable to fewer mistakes. (Haydock)
Kennicott
Hebrew, "This is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, (the son of Zabdiel) the Hachmonite, chief of three. He lifted up his spear against three hundred soldiers at one time." (Kennicott)
11:12
His. Hebrew, "the son of Dodi."
11:13
Kennicott
And. "Who could have discovered that thirty-four words are here omitted, if they had not been preserved in 2 Kings 23.," though with some inaccuracy? We should read, "And when the men of Israel were fled, he arose and smote the Philistines, until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the sword. And the Lord wrought a great deliverance that day; and the people returned after him only to spoil. And after him was Shammah, the son of Agee, the Hararite: And the Philistines were gathered together at Lechi, where was a piece of ground full of barley....14. But he placed himself in the midst of the field, (of barley) and saved it, and smote the Philistines; and the Lord wrought a great deliverance." (Kennicott)
Calmet
The name of Semma must have been omitted by the transcriber. (Calmet)
Without it, how will the number 37 be made out?
11:14
These men. Septuagint speak only of one: "And he stood," etc., (Haydock) and the verbs are singular, 2 Kings 23:12.
Kennicott
Gave. Hebrew vayahas (ibid.[2 Kings 23:12.?]) is more correct than vayosha, "saved." (Kennicott)
Haydock
Protestants are forced to add, "saved them by a great deliverance." But there is nothing in the original signifying by. (Haydock)
11:15
Captains. This is not rightly expressed in any of the ancient versions, no more than in the Protestant, which has, ""Three of the Thirty chief;" marginal note, "Three captains over the Thirty." The latter signification comes much nearer to the truth. It should be, "And there went down three captains, (Jesbaam, Eleazar, and Semma. Haydock) who were over Thirty." There were properly seven captains, or "heads of the other Thirty."
Calmet
Rock, (hatsur) which seems preferable to katsir, "in the time of harvest," 2 Kings. (Kennicott) (Calmet)
11:16
Garrison, or advanced guard.
11:17
O that. Hebrew, "Who will." David wished to see his native country freed from the troops of the Philistines.
In. Hebrew, "by the gate."
11:18
Josephus
These. Hebrew, "The three (or perhaps, three of the mighty men) brake through the host of the Philistines....by the gate, and took, and brought it to David. But David would not drink it; and he poured it out unto the Lord," by way of prayer, (Kennicott) or of thanksgiving. (Josephus)
11:19
Tirinus
In the. Hebrew, "thing! Shall I drink the blood of these men, with their lives? for at the hazard of their lives they have brought it! And he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men," (Kennicott) forming the first ternary. (Tirinus)
Calmet
Among these heroes there were different degrees of excellence. (Calmet)
Haydock
Protestants acknowledge the superlative, "mightiest:" but "mighty" would do better, as they were not still equal to Joab. (Haydock)
11:20
Abisai. His name is written without the middle i, in all this book.
Three. Alexandrian Septuagint alone reads, "six."
Kennicott
He was. Hebrew adds, "not;" evidently mistaking lo, "not," for lo, "ei." See 4 Kings 8:10. "He lifted up his spear against 300 soldiers, and had a name among Three." (Kennicott)
11:21
Calmet
Second and (Haydock) first occur not in Hebrew and Septuagint. (Calmet)
Kennicott
Hebrew, "Of the three he was more honourable than two; therefore he was their captain: and yet he attained not unto the first three." (Kennicott)
Tirinus
First is indeed the sense, but it is not expressed in the original. We have here the exact order of these mighty men sufficiently marked out. Abisai is the first captain (Haydock) of the second ternary. (Tirinus)
11:22
Kennicott
Two ariels. That is, two lions, or lion-like men; for ariel, in Hebrew, signifies "a lion (Challoner) of God," the strongest compound word for "a man of valour. The courage of a lion is so singular, that a man of extraordinary heroism is frequently called a lion, by way of emphasis; and the word God is frequently applied in Scripture to things particularly great." (Kennicott)
Haydock
V is wanting at the beginning and end of the name of Banaias, (here Benaia, instead of Ubenaiahu and Banaias, 2 Kings.) The last letter (ver. 24) serves to distinguish this third captain in waiting on the king, from the eleventh, ver. 31., and 1 Paralipomenon 27:5., and 14. (Haydock)
Kennicott
Hebrew, "And Benaihu, the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, mighty in exploits; he slew two men of Moab, who were stouter than lions. He also went down and slew a lion in a pit, in a snowy day." (Kennicott)
Worthington
We have observed, that "And" is not found in the printed Hebrew nor is it in the Protestant, "Benaiah....slew two lion-like men, of Moad." Literally, "ariels;" (Septuagint) that is, "lions of God," or two of Moab equal to (Haydock) the strongest lions. (Worthington)
Haydock
Yet it is not certain whether these were not real lions, as well as the following. (Haydock)
Calmet
St. Jerome translates, two lions of Moab, 2 Kings 23:20. (Calmet)
Haydock
Lion: ari is written arih, 2 Kings. (Haydock)
11:23
Cubits. 2 Kings, "a man of great aspect."
Kennicott
Ones. Hebrew, "and he had a name among three mighty men." (Kennicott)
Haydock
Shelosha, "three," has the u omitted, (2 Kings) as it is frequently on other occasions. (Haydock)
11:25
Kennicott
Among, or rather "above," as he was the second captain of this series, and not one of the body of Thirty. (Kennicott)
Calmet
Council. Literally, "placed him at his ear," (Haydock) fecit eum auricularium a secreto; (2 Kings) though the word is the same. (Calmet)
Haydock
It seems, however, to have been read differently. (Haydock)
Haydock
Septuagint, "he placed him over his family, (Calmet, patrian) or native place." (Haydock)
Grotius
Syriac, "guard of his spear, and chief of his heroes." Arabic, "over all his riches." Some would translate, "captain of his guards." (Grotius)
Calmet
Banaias was a man of consummate prudence, as well as a great warrior. (Calmet)
Josephus
David "gives Banaias the command of his life-guard." (Josephus, [Antiquities?] 7:12.)
Kennicott
Hebrew, "Behold! he was more honourable than the Thirty; but he attained not unto the first three, and David set him over his guard," the Cerethites, etc., 1 Paralipomenon 18:17. (Kennicott)
Haydock
This author adopts the correction of Grotius, as the Protestants do; though he acknowledges there is no impropriety in the present reading, "over his hearing or obedience." He also adds "first," by way of explanation, as [in] ver. 21. (Haydock)
11:26
Nold
Moreover. Nothing particular is here recorded of Asahel, and therefore he is barely mentioned with the rest. But the Book of Kings had been more particular in determining their rank, and had said, "Asahel, brother of Joab, was over the Thirty," being the last of the second ternary. The preposition b (Kennicott) frequently means, "over." (Nold., etc.)
Kennicott
Arabic, "head of Thirty, whose names are these." (Kennicott)
Calmet
Elchanan; probably the son of Jair, 2 Kings 21:18. (Calmet)
11:27
Kennicott
Arorite, or Harodite, (2 Kings) to distinguish him from Shammah. Eliza, who follows in 2 Kings is here universally omitted, as he is supposed to have died soon, and to have been replaced by Zabad, (ver. 41.) who completes the number of 30. (Kennicott)
Kennicott
Phalonite; not Paltite, as 2 Kings, where t has been formed of the two letters un. So Septuagint have read Adni, "my lord," perhaps correctly, (Kennicott) instead of Adan, "any man's," (1 Kings 17:32.) as the two letters might easily be mistaken for one. (Kennicott)
Haydock
Helles was the captain for the seventh month, as the following was for the sixth, and Abiezer for the ninth, 1 Paralipomenon 27:10. (Haydock)
11:29
Sobbochai, rather than Mobonnai, (2 Kings) where s and m have been mistaken for m and n, which are very similar in Hebrew. The Septuagint (Aldi) has there also Sabouchai. He was the eighth captain, 1 Paralipomenon 27.
Ilai, or Selmon, 2 Kings. Septuagint have the same variation in some copies; but others lead us to suppose that Ilai was the true name. Neither occur any where else in Scripture.
11:30
Maharai, the tenth captain, 1 Paralipomenon 27. Heled was the twelfth.
11:31
Haydock
Ethai. Not the famous prince of Geth, (2 Kings 15:19.; Kennicott) though the name is written alike, (2 Kings 23:29.) an i being omitted. (Haydock)
This captain contributed to make David king, ver. 10.
Banaia. 2 Kings xxiii., a v is added, which makes the name like that of the second general; (ver. 22.) but it ought to form part of the e, which is wanting in the following word.
11:32
Haydock
Hurai, rather than Heddai, (2 Kings.; Kennicott) though there is some doubt which is to be preferred. (Haydock)
Kennicott
Syriac and Arabic have Hiddai; but the Septuagint declare for Hurai here, and the Aldine copy has Ouri also, 2 Kings. (Kennicott)
Calmet
Torrent. Hebrew, "of the torrents or vales of Gaas." (Calmet)
Abiel. 2 Kings Abialbon, which seems to be the right word, as a transcriber may omit letters more easily than he can insert them. Bun and the end seems to have been written separate, and to have been translated "the son of," by Syriac and Arabic. The particles al and al, have also been frequently mistaken on account of their nearly similar pronunciation.
Haydock
Bauramite. Hebrew habacharumi, 2 Kings habarchumi, where two letters are transposed, and v is omitted, as usual, in the latter book. (Haydock)
The former reading appears to be more correct, as the hero probably came from Bahurim, (berim, 2 Kings 3:16.) and the Syriac and Arabic seem to have read properly.
Kennicott
Salabonite. Septuagint Salabonites (2 Kings) Salaboni. (Kennicott)
Kennicott
The translator of the latter book gives the Hebrew termination throughout, instead of the Greek; (Haydock) "whence the learned have drawn an unanswerable argument against that version's being the work of the same author." (Kennicott)
Haydock
They might as well prove that St. Jerome did not translate both these books. (Haydock)
11:33
Calmet
Gezonite. We know not the meaning of this epithet. (Calmet)
In 2 Kings, we read of the sons of Jassen, Jonathan, and Semma; (K.) but both seem to be incorrect; instead of Septuagint, "the son," or supposing m to be lost, at the beginning, "of the sons of Assem, Gouni," as Septuagint read, instead of Gezonite, which would leave this hero without any name. See 1 Paralipomenon 5:15. E is prefixed to this name, as it is to that of Manasses, Josue 1:12.
Sage, should be Shamha, (Kennicott) or Jonathan, the son of Samaa, the brother of David. He slew the monstrous giant, (chap. 20:7.) as Sabachai did another. Jonathan is mentioned also along with Asahel (2 Kings xxi.) so that he deserves a place here among David's heroes.
11:34
Sachar, mentioned [in] 1 Paralipomenon 26:4.
11:35
Kennicott
Eliphal should be Eliphelet, the son of Aasbai, the son of Machati, (Haydock) or of the country of Maacha, 4 Kings 25:23. (Kennicott)
Haydock
Eliphal and Hepher cannot constitute two heroes, as that would derange the number 37, 2 Kings 23:39. The copies of the Septuagint vary much. (Haydock)
11:36
Ahia, or rather "Eliam, the son of Achitophel, the Gilonite," 2 Kings. The name of the hero is lost here; and the latter part of his father's name (p) has also been mistaken for g, which it resembles.
11:37
Blanchini
Hesro ends with u in the Hebrew. Yet some read more properly with i, "Hetzrai," as all the ancient versions have it, except the Vulgate, (Kennicott) some copies of which read Asra. (Blanchini, Vind. 1740.)
Montfaucon
Carmelite. Septuagint Karmedi. The D might easily be mistaken for L, as the Greek bibles (Kennicott) for some ages after Origen were written in capital letters, without accents. (Montfaucon, Pref. to Hexap. p. 44.)
Haydock
Azbai seems preferable to Arbi, as the proper name seems also more correct than Pharai, 2 Kings. (Haydock)
Pref. in Paral
The Vatican Septuagint confounds both words in one "Ouraiverchi." We may apply to many of the proper names that severe censure which St. Jerome has passed upon the transcribers of the book of Chronicles. Ita in Graecis et Latinis cod: hic nominum liber vitiosus est, ut non tam Hebraea quam Barbara quaedam et Sarmatica nomina conjecta arbitrandum eit, etc. (ep. ad Domn.) If this epistle be not genuine, the same doctor complains at least of the incorrect state of the Septuagint. (Pref. in Paral.)
11:38
Kennicott
Joel seems better than Igaal, (2 Kings; Haydock) as we know there were some of this name [who] lived under David, (chap. 26:22., and 27:20.) and all the versions agree here, but vary much [in] 2 Kings. It is, therefore, more natural for us to adhere to that copy which has the greatest authority from the ancient versions. (Kennicott)
Calmet
Brother, relation, adopted child, (Du Hamel) or son, (2 Kings) which seems more correct, as this is an usual expression. (Calmet)
This reason may rather lead us to conclude that the mistake being more natural, has been made by the transcriber of that book; particularly as we no where else read of Joel being the son of Nathan, but rather of Pedaiah, etc.
Mibahar, or rather "Nathan of Tzoba."
Kennicott
The son, ought to be the proper name, "Bonni, (of Gadi, 2 Kings) or the Gadite." (Kennicott)
11:41
Calmet
Zabad. This name, with the following, is not found [in] 2 Kings, where Elica occurs, though not mentioned here. (Calmet)
We have observed that Zabad took his place, and completed the number 37, ver. 27.
11:42
Kennicott
With him. Hebrew, "above him," (Septuagint, Junius, Montanus) which must be applied to the rest of these 15 less valiant men. (Kennicott)
Kennicott
Protestants agree with the Vulgate (Haydock) and Delany looks upon these 30 as a forth order of commanders in chief. But 30 with him would make 31, and why are only 15 mentioned? We have a regular gradation of officers, descending from Joab, the captain general. (Kennicott)
Calmet
These heroes are supplementary to those in the Book of Kings, and were stationed (Calmet) on the east of the Jordan, (Du Hamel) in their native country; (Calmet) which is true, at least (Haydock) with respect to several of them. Maacha, Ashtaroth, and Aroer were in these parts, (Josue 13:9, 13.; Kennicott) as well as Mathana, Numbers 21:18. (Calmet)
11:44
Jehiel. The Masorets read so in the margin; but in the text they substitute u for i, improperly. See Septuagint and 1 Paralipomenon 5:7, 8.
11:45
Samri. Protestants, "Shimri," or, margin, "the Shimrite," as they deem the expression to be equivalent. But Shimri was rather the father of Jedihel or Jediael, and Joha.
11:46
Haydock
Mahumite. Protestants, "Mahavite." Kennicott would translate these last verses according to his corrections. (42) ..."Zabad, the son of Ahlai; (43) Adina, the son of Shiza, the Reubenite, and head of the Reubenites: But the thirty were his superiors. (44) Hanan, the son of Maacah; and Josaphat, the Mithnite. (45) Urzia, the Ashtarothite; Shema and Jehiel, the sons of Hotham, the Aroerite. (46) Jediel, the son of Shimri; and Joha, his brother, the Titzite. (47) Jeliel and Mahavite, and Jeribai and Joshaviah, the sons of Elnaam; and Ithmah, the Moabite; (48) Eliel, and Obed and Jashiel, the Metzobaites." It will be easily perceived that this author frequently recedes from the Protestant version, as well as from the printed Hebrew, both of which are frequently erroneous. Perhaps the critical examination of these proper names, may appear to some unimportant. But the question respecting the perfect integrity of the Hebrew text deserves to be seriously considered; and every part of sacred history requires our attention. If the Protestant rule of faith be incorrect, what security can they have? We are not exposed to the same inconvenience, even though the Vulgate be susceptible of farther improvement. (Haydock)
11:22
Two ariels.... That is, two lions, or lion-like men; for Ariel in Hebrew signifies a lion.
11:1
The third part. King Dauids reigne and his special actes.

Two stout men of Moab, as if they had benne lions. 2. Reg. 23. v. 20.

… Insieme agli Amoriti e agli Hittiti abitavano nella zona montagnosa (Num. 13, 30), ma il loro centro era il pendio del colle (kheteph ha-Jēbhūti) della città di Gerusalemme, da essi designata, secondo un uso antico, Jēbhūs (Iudc. 19, 10; I Par. 11, 4). Il loro Re fu ucciso da Giosuè (Ios. 10, 23-26), ma gli I. resistettero a tutti gli attacchi della tribù di Beniamin, a cui era stata assegnata la città (Ios. 18, 28), come pure …

Posto da David l'assedio a Gerusalemme, un'audace impresa di I. ne determinò la caduta: ciò gli meritò la carica di generale supremo (II Sam. 5, 6-8; I Par. 11, 4-6). Si distinse nelle guerre contro gli Ammoniti, gli Aramei e specialmente contro gli Edomiti, che quasi sterminò (II Sam. 10-11; Ps. 59, 2; I Reg. 11, 14-21).

NATHAN (EBR. NĀTHĀN « [DIO] HA DATO »)
Altri nella Bibbia portano lo stesso nome: un giudeo in I Par. 2, 36; un figlio di David (II Sam. 5, 15; Zach. 12, 12), attraverso il quale Cristo fa capo a David nella genealogia di Luca (Lc. 3, 31); il padre (o fratello?) di un guerriero di David (II Sam. 23, 36; I Par. 11, 38); un messo di Esdra (Estd. 8, 16); un sacerdote postesilico che aveva preso in moglie una straniera (Estd. 10, 39).
