2 Samuel 23:39

Verse 39. Urias, the husband of Bethsabee. We have observed (verse 25,) that in Paral. the number of 37 is completed by Zabad, instead of Elica. Bible.—Only 36 are specified in these catalogues, as the name of the sixth hero (verse 18,) is omitted, whom some take to be Sobati, Jonathan, (Calmet. 21:22,) Joiada, (verse 20,) or Joab. Calmet.—But the truth is, Joab is not mentioned here at all, as he was sufficiently known for the chief; (1 Chronicles 11:6,) and he makes up the number of 37. The sixth, therefore, was Asael; (verse 24,) and after him there are exactly 30. For though Gonni be lost, (verse 32,) Semma is substituted in the following verse. Bible.
