three etc. or, the three captains over the thirty, 1Chr 11:15-19 Shalishim, "captains," should most probably be read, instead of shaloshim̀ thirty shalishim, as it is in 2Sam 23:8, and Exod 14:7; where LXX render τριστατας, which Jerome (on Ezek 33:1-33) says "among the Greeks is the name of the second rank after the royal dignity."

thirty and seven in all From the number of these officers being thirty-seven, it is almost self-evident that shalishim cannot denote the thirty, as rendered in 2Sam 24:13, etc., but some particular description of men, or officers; for it can scarcely be said, with propriety, that we have thirty-seven out of thirty; and besides, in the parallel place in 1Chronicles, there are sixteen added!
