2 Samuel 23:24 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Asahel the brother of Joab was one of the thirty; Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem, Asahel - was one of the thirty - Asahel was one of those officers, or troops, called the shalishim. This Asahel, brother of Joab, was the same that was killed by Abner, 2 Samuel 2:23.
