Fausets

David's follower, a "Hachmonite", or rather "son of Hachmoni," i.e. of the family of Hachmon (1Ch 11:11), son of Zabdiel (1Ch 27:2): head of the first monthly course of officers and men (24,000) who waited by turns on the king ((1Ch 27:32).(See HACHMONITE.) He may be the "Korhite" who joined David at Ziklag (1Ch 12:6). In 2Sa 23:8 he is called the" Tachmonite that sat in the seat," Josheb basshebeth, a corruption of text for Jashobeam. Also he is here called "chief of the captains" or "the three" (shallishiy), in Chronicles "chief of the thirty" (Hebrew shalishim): 2Sa 23:11,15,39; 1Ch 12:4. "The thirty" formed the whole body of David's adjutants, "the three" were the king's aides de camp. He slays 300 in Chronicles, where the number may have crept in from 2Sa 23:18 in the case of Abishai; 800 is the correct number in Samuel; not all at one blow, but with successive throws of his spear.
