2 Samuel 23:39 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Thirty and seven in all. — Only thirty-six names have been given, but either the third unnamed person in the second triad of heroes is counted, or else in 2 Samuel 23:34 the names of the two given in Chronicles should be substituted for the one in the text here.

In 1 Chronicles 11:41-47 sixteen more names are given, either of men who took the place of these heroes as they died, or simply of other heroes thought worthy of record, though hardly reckoned with this especial body.

2 Samuel 23:39
