1 Chronicles 11:11 calls Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty, who killed three hundred at one time; 2 Samuel 23:8 calls Josheb Basshebeth, a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains, who killed eight hundred at one time. 1 Chronicles 11:12–14 say that Eleazar the son of Dodo was with David at Pasdammim, and that “They stood in the middle of the plot” full of barley and killed the Philistines; 2 Samuel 23:9–10 say that Eleazar the son of Dodai, one of the three mighty men with David, struck the Philistines, and 23:11–12 that Shammah the son of Agee stood in the middle of a plot full of lentils and killed the Philistines. 1 Chronicles 11 does not name Shammah the son of Agee. 1 Chronicles 11:29 names Sibbecai the Hushathite and 2 Samuel 23:27 Mebunnai the Hushathite, and there are more places where the two lists have another name or a name spelled otherwise (the notes of the list of names of 1 Chronicles 11:26–47). 1 Chronicles 11:26–47 gives no total. This collection records each passage as it gives it and links only the same names; where it does not, the notes of the list say why. Jashobeam and Josheb Basshebeth have other names in both editions, and Eleazar the son of Dodo and Eleazar the son of Dodai have fathers named otherwise in both editions; they are kept apart. The text does not say whether they are the same men, and the collection does not decide.
