Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 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).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(25) Behold, he was honourable among the thirty.--Rather, above the thirty behold he was honoured.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.
