David’s Warriors
23:8These are the names of David’s warriors:
Josheb-Basshebeth, a Tahkemonite, was head of the officers.7 He killed eight hundred men with his spear in one battle.8
Footnotes
- 7 The Hebrew word is sometimes rendered as “the three,” but is probably correct in taking it to refer to military officers ( 1026 שְׁלִישִׁי). In that case the etymological connection of this word to the Hebrew numerical adjective for “three” can be explained as originating with a designation for the third warrior in a chariot.
- 8 The translation follows some (see 1 Chr 11:11 as well) in reading הוּא עוֹרֵר אֶת־חֲנִיתוֹ (hu’ ’orer ’et khanito, “he raised up his spear”) rather than the ’s הוּא עֲדִינוֹ הָעֶצְנִי (hu’ ’adino ha’etsni [Kethib = הָעֶצְנוֹ, ha’etsno]; “Adino the Ezenite”). The emended text reads literally “he was wielding his spear against eight hundred, [who were] slain at one time.”
