EXPLANATION

Verse 25. Semma. The same with the third hero, though his country is differently written, verse 11. Calmet.—But this is very improbable, as the number of 37 would be thus destroyed. The former was an Hararite. The Septuagint style the present captain, Samoth, in 1 Par.; Vulg. Sammoth; and the Ald. copy has Semoth here. He was the fifth captain; (1 Chronicles 27:8,) and the four subsequent ones relieved each other in waiting on the king.—Harodi, more correct than Arorite, 1 Par. ( Bible.) as the Septuagint also there terminate with di.—Elica is omitted, 1 Chronicles 11. (Kennic.) as he perhaps died soon; and Zabad succeeding to his honours, comes at the end of these 30 heroes. Ib. verse 30. Junius.
