“Abishai: Commander of the 30”

“Abishai: Commander of the 30”

Blessings folk!

The next two verses give us some additional insight into the “Mighty Men”.

There were 30 Mighty Men.
There were 3 “mightier” then the 30.
Were they part of the 30 or were they in addition?
Uncertain at the moment…

The 30 had a leader…

2 Sa 23:18-19

Abishai, the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of the thirty.
And he swung his spear against three hundred and killed them,
and had a name as well as the three.

He was most honored of the thirty, therefore he became their commander;
however, he did not attain to the three.

Abishai…you remember him from previous Scripture…was the chief of the the 30.
He killed 300 at one time, apparently alone.
He “had a name as well as the three”…but he did not attain to the three.
He was the most honored of the 30.
He was the commander of the 30.

Yet, he did not attain to the three.

Sounds like “the three” are outside the 30.

More to come…
