1 Chronicles 19:10-19
Joab <03097> [when Joab.]
battle <04421> [battle. Heb. face of the battle. set against.]
chose <0977> [choice. or, young men.]
Abishai <052> [Abishai. Heb. Abshai.]
The variation of ['AbŒyshay <\\See definition 052\\>,] Abishai, and ['Abshay <\\See definition 052\\>,] Abshai, is simply caused by the elision of [Y“wd,] {yood,} which is by no means uncommon.
deployed <06186> [and they set.]
Arameans <0758> [If the Syrians.]
strong .... bravely <02388> [of good.]
strong .... bravely <02388> [let us behave, etc.]
In Samuel, "let us play the men;" but the original is the same in both places, {nithchazzak}.
Lord <03068> [let the Lord.]
fled <05127> [they fled.]
flee ... fled <05127> [they likewise.]
<03318> [A.M. 2968. B.C. 1036. An. Ex. Is. 455. and drew.]
Euphrates <05104> [river. that is, Euphrates. Shophach.]
This variation arises from the permutation of [Bˆyth,] {baith,} and [Pˆ,] {pay;} being written in the parallel passage [Sh“wbƒk <\\See definition 07731\\>,] Shobach, and here [Sh“wphƒk <\\See definition 07780\\>,] Shophach.
[Shobach.]
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.]
fled before Israel <05127 06440 03478> [fled before Israel.]
7,000 ..... 40,000 <07651 0505> [seven thousand.]
In the parallel passage, "the men of seven hundred chariots;" which difference probably arose from mistaking [N–wn,] {noon final}, which stands for 700, for [Zayin,] {zayin,} with a dot above, which denotes 7,000, or vice versa: the great similarity of these letters might easily cause the one to be mistaken for the other.
<0376> [footmen.]
If these troops were as we have suppose, a kind of dismounted cavalry, the terms footmen and horsemen might be indifferently applied to them.
[horsemen.]
subjects <05650> [the servants.]
willing <014> [would.]
