2 Samuel23:23
23 He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three: and David set him over his guard .
Heb. over (for el is sometimes put for al) the men (which is oft understood, as hath been noted before) of his command. So his Guard is called, because they were always at the Kings hand, ready to hear and receive the King's Commands, and to put them in Execution. Over the Cherethites and Pelethites; as appears by comparing 2 Sam. 8. 18. and 20. 23. who were faithful and obedient to him, when others Revolted from him; chap. 15. 18.
Marginal references: Or, honourable among the thirty.; Or, councel.; Heb. at his command.
