1 Chronicles 11:42 -

Thirty with him . The Hebrew preposition here translated "with" appears thus, זְעָלָיו , and will naturally translate "and in addition to him." As he was a captain, this addendum may probably refer to those over whom he was captain, and whom he brought in his train, and who were possibly themselves officers. As the writer of Chronicles indicates no difference, nor any sense of a change of persons enumerated, when he has reached ( 1 Chronicles 11:41 ) Uriah the Hittite, it would all the rather be consistent with his own superscription when ( 1 Chronicles 11:26 ) he proposes to set forth simply "the valiant men of the armies" without confining their number to the "thirty."
