Of these shalishim we have here thirty-seven, and it can scarcely be said with propriety that we have thirty-seven out of thirty; and besides, in the parallel place, 1 Chronicles 11:11-47, there are sixteen added. The captains over Pharaoh's chariots are termed שלשים shalishim , Exodus 14:7 .
The Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim - This is the same war which is spoken of 2 Samuel 5:17 , etc.
