Over his guard . If the reference is not as above (see 1 Chronicles 11:22 ), the margin of the parallel ( 2 Samuel 23:23 ) may be followed, which would translate "guard" as council.

The Pulpit Commentary - 1 Chronicles 11:26-41
These verses correspond with 1 Chronicles 11:24-39 in 2 Samuel 23:1-39 ; and with them the subject ends there, though not here. The list announced here as comprising "the valiant men of the armies," is unannounced there, but, beginning with the same name, Asahel , it calls him "one of the thirty," and suggests the inference that those who follow will make up the rest.

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 1 Chronicles 11:10
Strengthened themselves - Or “exerted themselves” - “strenuously assisted with all Israel in making David king.” This list of David’s principal heroes belongs, therefore, to his reign at Hebron. In Samuel the list is not given until nearly the end of David’s reign 2 Samuel 23:8-39. read more

Jashobeam was the commander of the first monthly course of 24,090 soldiers 1 Chronicles 27:2. He is probably the warrior of the name who joined David at Ziklag 1 Chronicles 12:6. read more

Compare this passage with 2 Samuel 23:9-10.Barley - In 2 Samuel 23:11, “lentiles.” The words for barley and lentils are so similar in the Hebrew that we may fairly explain the diversity by an accidental corruption. read more

etc. The list of names here given corresponds generally with that in 2 Samuel 23:24-39, but presents several remarkable differences.(1) the number in Chronicles is 47; the number in Samuel is 31.(2) Four names in the list of Chronicles are not in Samuel.(3) five names in Samuel are not in Chronicles.(4) many of the other names, both personal and local, vary in the two lists.It is quite possible that the two lists varied to some extent originally. The writer of Chronicles distinctly states that... read more
