Bible Comments

Set him over his guard. — The word translated guard means rather private audience. David either made him a member of, or set him over his council. If in 1 Chronicles 27:34 “Jehoiada son of Benaiah” is an error for “Benaiah son of Jehoiada,” his holding of this office is also mentioned there.

2 Samuel 23:23
