1 Chronicles 11:13
Pas Dammim <06450> [Pas-dammim.]
Ephes-dammim is here called Pas-dammim, by aph‘resis.
[Ephes-dammim. a parcel.]
In Samuel it is, "a piece of ground full of lentiles;" and there is probably a mistake of {seâ€rim,} "barley," for {Æ’dashim,} "lentiles," or vice-versa. Some, however, think there were both lentiles and barley in the field, which is not unlikely.
1 Chronicles 19:7
hired <07936> [hired.]
32,000 <07970> [thirty.]
Thirty-two thousand soldiers, exclusive of the thousand send by the Maachah, are mentioned in the parallel passage (2 Sa 10:6;) but of chariots or cavalry there is no mention; and the number of chariots stated here is prodigious, and beyond all credibility. But as the word {raichev} denotes not only a chariot, but a rider, (see Isa 21:7,) it ought most probably to be rendered here, in a collective sense, cavalry; and then the number of troops will exactly agree with the passage in Samuel. It is probable that they were a kind of auxiliary troops who were usually mounted on horses, or in chariots, but who occasionally served as foot-soldiers.
king ... Maacah <04601 04428> [the king of Maachah.]
This variation exists only in the translation, the original being the same in both places, {melech m„achah,} "the king of Maachah."
king <04428> [king Maachah. Medeba.]
1 Chronicles 19:17
deployed <06186> [upon them.]
Instead of {alaihem,} "upon them," it is in 2 Sa 10:17 {chelamah,} "to Helam:" the one seems evidently to be a mistake for the other.
deployed <06186> [and set.]
