thirty and seven in all.From the number of these officers being thirty-seven, it is almost self-evident that {shalishim} cannot denote the thirty, as rendered in ver. 13, etc., but some particular description of men, or officers; for it can scarcely be said, with propriety, that we have thirty-seven out of thirty; and besides, in the parallel place in 1 Chronicles, there are sixteen added!

27:12; 2Sa 23:27

Anethothite.

Sibbecai.The reading of [Mebunnay ,] {Mebunnai,} for [Cibbekay ,] {Sibbecai,} seems to be occasioned by the mistake of [Câmek,] {samech,} for a [Mêm,] {mem,} and a [Nûwn,] {noon,} for a [Kaph,] {caph;} and a difference in the vowel points.

Ithai.The variation of ['Iythay ,] {Ithai,} and ['Ittay ,] {Ittai,} simply arises from the elision of [Yôwd,] {yood,} which is compensated by the reduplication of the next letter.
