SEV Biblia, Chapter 27:5
El capitán de la tercera cuadrilla del tercer mes era Benaía, hijo de Joiada sumo sacerdote; y en su cuadrilla había veinticuatro mil.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Chronicles 27:5
Verse 5. Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a chief priest] Why should not this clause be read as it is in the Hebrew? "Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, a captain; and in his course," &c. Or, as the Targum has it, "The third captain of the host for the month Sivan was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, who was constituted a chief." He is distinguished from Benaiah, the Pirathonite, who was over the eleventh month. Some think that the original word hkh haccohen, which generally signifies priest, should be translated here a principal officer; so the margin has it. But, in the Old Testament, hk cohen signifies both prince and priest; and translating it by the former removes the difficulty from this place, for we well know that Benaiah never was a priest.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-15 - In the kingdoms of this world readiness for war forms a security for peace; in like manner, nothing so much encourages Satan's assaults a to be unwatchful. So long as we stand armed with the whole armour of God, in the exercise of faith, and preparation of heart for the conflict, we shall certainly be safe, and probably enjoy inward peace.
