Wesley's Notes for 2 Samuel 23:10

23:8 These - But this catalogue, though placed here, was taken long before, as is manifest from hence, that Asahel and Uriah are named here. And whereas there are some difference between this list, and that, #1Chr 11:10 |- 47, most of them are easily reconciled by these two considerations; that nothing is more common than for one person to have divers names. That as some of the worthies died, and others came in their stead; this must needs cause some alteration in the latter catalogue, #1Chr 11:10 |- 47, from this which was the former. Learn hence, how much religion tends to inspire men with true courage. David both by his writings and example greatly promoted piety among the grandees of the kingdom. And when they became famous for piety, they became famous for bravery. Adino - This was his proper name. Lift up - Which words are fitly supplied out of #1Chr 11:11|, where they are expressed. One time - In one battle, which though it be strange, yet cannot seem incredible, supposing him to be a person of extraordinary strength and activity, and his enemies to be discouraged, and fleeing away.

23:9 Gone away - That is, fled away, #1Chron 11:13|, being dismayed at the approach of their enemies.

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.

23:12 Lord wrought - How great soever the bravery of the instruments is, the praise of the achievement is to be given to God. These fought, but God wrought the victory.
