JASHOBEAM
        David's follower, a " see HACHMONITE " , or rather "son of Hachmoni,"i.e. of the family of Hachmon (1 Chronicles 11:11), son of Zabdiel (1 Chronicles 27:2): head of the first monthly course of officers and men (24,000) who waited by turns on the king (verse 32). He may be the "Korhite" who joined David at Ziklag (1 Chronicles 12:6). In 2 Samuel 23:8 he is called the" Tachmonite that sat in the seat," Josheb basshebeth, a corruption of text for Jashobeam. Also he is here called "chief of the captains" or "the three" (shallishiy ), in Chronicles "chief of the thirty" (Hebrew shalishim ): verses 11,15,42; 1 Chronicles 12:4. "The thirty" formed the whole body of David's adjutants, "the three"were the king's aides de camp. He slays 300 in Chronicles, where the number may have crept in from 2 Samuel 23:18 in the case of Abishai; 800 is the correct number in Samuel; not all at one blow, but with successive throws of his spear.
