1 Chronicles 11:11 -

This is the number . The Hebrew has, "These are the number." The sentence should probably be, "These are the names" ( 2 Samuel 23:8 ). Jashobeam . In the parallel passage, this name is supplied by the words "The Tachmonite ישֵׁב בַּשֶּׁבָת , Authorized Version, "that sat in the seat" (see the previous verse), probably in error for our יָשָׁבְעָם (see Kennicott's 'Dissert.,' 82). His immediate paternal ancestor seems to have been Zabdiel ( 1 Chronicles 27:2 ). The only other notices of him are in 1 Chronicles 12:6 ; 1 Chronicles 27:2 , in which latter passage he is mentioned as "over the first course for the first month and in his course were twenty and four thousand." The chief of the captains . The Authorized Version follows the Keri (which is distinguished from the Chethiv by a yod in place of a vau ), and translates captains. It seems better ( 1 Chronicles 27:15 , 1 Chronicles 27:25 ; 1 Chronicles 12:1 , 1 Chronicles 12:18 ; 1 Chronicles 27:6 ) to abide by the Chethiv, and translate "the chief of the thirty ." He lifted up his spear . Notice the probable error in Samuel, occasioned by some similarity in the Hebrew letters. "The same was Adino the Eznite." The number of Jashobeam's victims is stated at "eight hundred" in the parallel passage ( 2 Samuel 23:8 ). (For analogous idioms, see Exodus 7:20 ; Exodus 20:25 ; Deuteronomy 27:5 ; Joshua 8:31 ; Psalms 41:9 ; Psalms 74:5 ; Isaiah 2:4 ; Ezekiel 26:1-21 :28.)
