Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 42. - Thirty with him. The Hebrew preposition here translated "with" appears thus, זְעָלָיו, and will naturally translate "and in addition to him." As he was a captain, this addendum may probably refer to those over whom he was captain, and whom he brought in his train, and who were possibly themselves officers. As the writer of Chronicles indicates no difference, nor any sense of a change of persons enumerated, when he has reached (ver. 41) Uriah the Hittite, it would all the rather be consistent with his own superscription when (ver. 26) he proposes to set forth simply "the valiant men of the armies" without confining their number to the "thirty."
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(42) A captain of the Reubenites (or, chief; Heb., head) and thirty with him (besides him).--Literally, upon him. So LXX. Syriac reads "and he was commanding thirty men," which gives the apparent meaning of the verse. If, as seems likely, the "thirty" were the officers of David's guard of six hundred warriors (1Samuel 23:13; 1Samuel 30:10; 2Samuel 15:18), called "the mighty men," or heroes (2Samuel 10:7; 2Samuel 20:7; 1Kings 1:8). each captain would lead about twenty men. Adina's corps is mentioned perhaps as being larger than usual. . . .
