2 Samuel 2:31
360 <03967 07969> [three hundred.]
The slain of Israel, though greatly exceeding those of Judah, were not great. This might be owing to the directions given by David, to be as lenient as possible; but the death of Asahel seems to have stopped the pursuers, and greatly favoured the escape of the vanquished.
2 Samuel 18:1
assembled <06485> [numbered.]
leaders ... thousands ... leaders <08269 0505> [captains of thousands.]
2 Samuel 24:9
800,000 ......... 500,000 <08083 03967 0505> [eight hundred thousand.]
2 Samuel 21:16
descendants <03211> [of the sons.]
Rapha <07497> [the giant. or, Rapha.]
spear <07013> [whose spear. Heb. the staff, or, the head. thought.]
2 Samuel 8:4
1,700 .... 20,000 <0505> [from him. or, of his. chariots.]
As 1 Ch 18:4 seven hundred. In the parallel place in Chronicles it is "seven thousand horsemen, a far more probable number. The letter [Zayin,] {zayin,} with a dot upon it stands for seven thousand, and the final letter N–wn,] {noon,} for seven hundred: the great similarity of these letters might easily cause the one to be mistaken for the other, and so produce an error in this place.
David .......... David cut the hamstrings <06131 01732> [David houghed.]
but <03498> [reserved.]
2 Samuel 10:18

[footmen. Shobach.]
2 Samuel 15:18
Kerethites <03774> [Cherethites.]
Gittites <01663> [Gittites.]
2 Samuel 23:8
names .... warriors .... Tahkemonite ...... officers ......... spear <08034 01368 08461 07675 07991 05722 06112> [A.M. 2949-2989. B.C. 1055-1015. An. Ex. Is. 436-476. The]
Tachmonite. or, Josheb-bassebet, the Tachmonite, head of the three.
It is highly probable that in this version instead of {yoshaiv bashshaiveth tachkemoni,} we should read {yoshavam ben chachmoni,} "Joshebeam, son of Hachmoni;' and instead of {hoo adino ha‰tzni, hoo “rair eth chanitho,} "he lift up his spear," which are the readings in the parallel place in Chronicles, where it is also, "three hundred," instead of "eight hundred."
killed <02491> [whom he slew. Heb. slain.]
2 Samuel 23:18
Abishai <052> [Abishai.]
[and slew them. Heb. slain.]
