Bible Commentary for 2 Samuel 23:11

Wesley's Notes for 2 Samuel 23:11


23:11 Lentiles - Or barley, as it is #1Chron 11:13|. For both might grow in the same field, in divers parts of it. And this fact is ascribed to Eleazar, #1Chron 11:12|, but it is implied, that he had some partner or partners in it; for it is there said, #1Chr 11:14 they| set themselves, &c. So Eleazar might fight in that part where the barley was and Shammah where the lentiles were.
