David Becomes King over All Israel4. Jerusalem 10. David's Mighty Men He was doubly honored This phrase highlights the exceptional recognition given to the individual in question, likely referring to Benaiah, son of Jehoiada, as mentioned in the surrounding context. The Hebrew root for "honored" is "כָּבוֹד" (kavod), which conveys a sense of weightiness or glory. In the ancient Near Eastern context, honor was a crucial social currency, often associated with one's reputation, valor, and contributions to the community. Benaiah's honor was "doubly" significant, indicating that his achievements and character were recognized as surpassing those of his peers, the Thirty, a group of elite warriors in King David's army. above the Thirty but he did not become one of the Three But attained not to the first three.--For he was a member of the second triad of heroes. The third member is omitted here, as in the case of the first triad. Over his guard.--Literally, over his obedience; an abstract for concrete, as in Isaiah 11:14 (= vassals). The Cherethites and Pelethites, a small corps probably of foreigners, who constituted David's body-guard, and were under his direct orders, appear to be meant here. (See 2Samuel 8:18; 2Samuel 20:23.) The word has this precise sense only in this place and its parallel. Verse 25. - Over his guard. If the reference is not as above (see ver. 22), the margin of the parallel (2 Samuel 23:23) may be followed, which would translate "guard" as council. This Gesenius adopts, and translates "privy council." There seems, however, no necessity for this, with the references before us above given (2 Samuel 8:18, etc., to which may be added ch. 27:6, which shows Benaiah to be captain of the third division).Parallel Commentaries ...
