Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 5. - Benaiah (1 Chronicles 11:22-25; 2 Samuel 23:20-23). To this name Keil thinks the word chief (רלֺאשׁ), in the succeeding expression, chief priest, belongs. Thus Jehoiada would be named here only priest. Yet see 1 Chronicles 12:27, where Jehoiada is called לְאַהֲרֹן חַגָּגִיד; and 2 Kings 25:18; where כֹּהֵן הָרלֺאשׁ stands for our הכֹּהֵן רלֺאשׁ, as applied to Seraiah. Benaiah was manifestly a Aaronite.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(5) The third captain of the host.--Heb., captain of the third host. So Vulg.Benaiah.--See 1Chronicles 11:22.The son of Jehoiada, a chief priest.--Rather, son of Jehoiada the priest, as head, viz., of the third army corps. The term "chief," or "head," belongs to Benaiah, not to his father. But perhaps it is an erroneous gloss on Jehoiada. (Comp. 2Chronicles 23:8.) Both LXX. and Vulg. make Benaiah the priest.
