The third captain of the host. — Heb., captain of the third host. So Vulg.
Benaiah. — See 1 Chronicles 11:22.
The son of Jehoiada, a chief priest. — Rather, son of Jehoiada the priest, as head, viz., of the third army corps. The term “chief,” or “head,” belongs to Benaiah, not to his father. But perhaps it is an erroneous gloss on Jehoiada. (Comp. 2 Chronicles 23:8.) Both LXX. and Vulg. make Benaiah the priest.
