11 And this is the number of the mighty men whom David had; Jashobeam, an Hachmonite, the chief of the captains: he lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time.

Jashobeam 1Ch 27:2 2Sa 23:8

The Tachmonite, Adino, the Eznite

12 And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties.

Eleazar 1Ch 27:4

This variation arises from the mutations of () wav, and () yood; it being written here {Dodo}, and in the parallel passage {Dodai}

13 He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

Pas-dammim Ephes-dammim is here called Pas-dammim, by aphaeresis 1Sa 17:1

Ephes-dammim
a parcel In Samuel it is, `a piece of ground full of {lentiles}' and there is probably a mistake of {seorim} `barley,' for {adashim}, `lentiles.' or vice-versa. Some, however, think there were both lentiles and barley in the field, which is not unlikely.

14 And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance.

20 And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the three: for lifting up his spear against three hundred, he slew them, and had a name among the three.

Abishai 1Ch 2:16 1Sa 26:6 2Sa 2:18 18:2 20:6 21:17 23:18,19

21 Of the three, he was more honorable than the two; for he was their captain: howbeit he attained not to the first three.

22 Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, the son of a valiant man of Kabzeel, who had done many acts; he slew two lionlike men of Moab: also he went down and slew a lion in a pit in a snowy day.

27 Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,

Shammoth Shammah, Shammoth, and as it is in 1Ch 27:8

Shamhuth, having all the same signification, appear to have been deemed perfectly interchangeable, and accordingly used indifferently. 2Sa 23:25

Shammah the Harodite
The variation of () Harorite of () Harodite, arises from the mutation of () {raish} and () {daleth}

Pelonite 2Sa 23:26

Anethothite

29 Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,

Sibbecai The reading of () {Mebunnai} for () Sibbecai, seems to be occasioned by the mistake of () samech of () mem, and a () noon for a () caph; and a difference in the vowel points. 1Ch 27:11 2Sa 23:27,28

30 Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite,

Heled Heleb seems evidently a mistake for Heled, which is essentially the same with Heldai, the latter merely having a paragogic () yood 1Ch 27:15

Heldai 2Sa 23:29

Heleb

31 Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that pertained to the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,

Ithai The variation of () Ithai, and () Ittai, simply arises from the elision of () yood which is compensated by the reduplication of the next letter 2Sa 23:29

Ittai
