Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
And three of the thirty - The word shalishim , which we translate thirty, probably signifies an office or particular description of men. Of these shalishim we have here thirty-seven, and it can scarcely be said with propriety that we have thirty-seven out of thirty; and besides, in the parallel place, I Chronicles 11:11-47, there are sixteen added. The captains over Pharaoh' s chariots are termed shalishim , Exodus 14:7.
The Philistines pitched in the valley of Rephaim - This is the same war which is spoken of II Samuel 5:17, etc.
