He was with David at Pasdammim, and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle, where was a parcel of ground full of barley; and the people fled from before the Philistines.

Pas-dammim

Ephes-dammim is here called Pas-dammim, by aphÊresis.

1 Samuel 17:1

Ephes-dammim

a parcel. In Samuel it is, "a piece of ground full of lentiles;" and there is probably a mistake of seˆrim, "barley," for ‚dashim, "lentiles," or vice-versa. Some, however, think there were both lentiles and barley in the field, which is not unlikely.

And they set themselves in the midst of that parcel, and delivered it, and slew the Philistines; and the LORD saved them by a great deliverance.

Elhanan

2 Samuel 21:19

Shammoth the Harorite, Helez the Pelonite,

Shammoth

Shammah, Shammoth, and as it is in ch. 27:8, Shamhuth, having all the same signification, appear to have been deemed perfectly interchangeable, and accordingly used indifferently.

2 Samuel 23:25

Shammah the Harodite

Harorite. The variation of [Harowriy (yrwrh)] Harorite, for [Charodiy (ydrx)] Harodite, arises from the mutation of [RÍysh] raish, and [D‚leth] daleth.

Pelonite

2 Samuel 23:26

Paltite

Verse 28

Ira the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite, Abiezer the Antothite,

Ira

27:9

Antothite

This variation springs simply from the points; the word being written [`Anthothiy (yttn()] Anethothite in Samuel, and here [`Anthothiy (yttn()] Antothite.

27:12 2 Samuel 23:27

Anethothite

Verse 29

Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite,

Sibbecai

The reading of [M@bunnay (ynnbm)] Mebunnai, for [Cibb@kay (ykbbs)] Sibbecai, seems to be occasioned by the mistake of [C‚mek] samech, for a [MÍm] mem, and a [N˚wn] noon, for a [Kaph] caph; and a difference in the vowel points.

27:11 2 Samuel 23:27,28

Mebunnai, Zalmon

Ahohite.

Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite,

Maharai

27:13

Heled

Heleb seems evidently a mistake for Heled, which is essentially the same with Heldai, the latter merely having a paragogic [YÙwd] yood.

27:15

Heldai

2 Samuel 23:29

Heleb

Verse 31

Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that pertained to the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite,

Ithai

The variation of ['Ittay (ytt))] Ithai, and ['Ittay (ytt))] Ittai, simply arises from the elision of [YÙwd] yood, which is compensated by the reduplication of the next letter.

2 Samuel 23:29

Ittai
