SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:18
Y Abisai hermano de Joab, hijo de Sarvia, fue el principal de tres; el cual alzó su lanza contra trescientos, los cuales mató; y tuvo nombre entre los tres.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 18. And Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief among the three , etc.] Another triumvirate, of which he was the head: and he lifted up his spear against three hundred, [and] slew [them] ; Josephus says six hundred; this seems to confirm the reading of ( Samuel 23:8), that the number eight hundred is right, for if it was only three hundred, Abishai would have been equal to one, even the first, of the former three; which yet is denied him in ( 2 Samuel 23:19): and had the name among three ; of which he was one; and he had the chief name among them, or was the most famous of them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-39 - David once earnestly longed for the water at the well of Bethlehem. I seems to be an instance of weakness. He was thirsty; with the water of that well he had often refreshed himself when a youth, and it wa without due thought that he desired it. Were his valiant men so forwar to expose themselves, upon the least hint of their prince's mind, an so eager to please him, and shall not we long to approve ourselves to our Lord Jesus, by ready compliance with his will, as shown us by his word, Spirit, and providence? But David poured out the water as drink-offering to the Lord. Thus he would cross his own foolish fancy and punish himself for indulging it, and show that he had sobe thoughts to correct his rash ones, and knew how to deny himself. Di David look upon that water as very precious which was got at the hazar of these men's blood, and shall not we much more value those benefit for purchasing which our blessed Saviour shed his blood? Let all bewar of neglecting so great salvation __________________________________________________________________
