1 Chronicles 11:12 -

Eleazar . Perhaps the same as Azareel in the list at 1 Chronicles 12:6 , in which Jashobeam is also found. Dodo . This name is found in three forms, the Chethiv being Dodi; the Keri, Dodo; and Dodai being found in 1 Chronicles 27:4 . He is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 27:4 as "over the course of the second month… in his course likewise twenty and four thousand." The Ahohite . In the parallel passage ( 2 Samuel 23:9 ), for הָאְחַוֹחִי here, we find בֶן־־אֲחוֹחִי . Ahohite is the patronymic of the Ahoah, who ( 1 Chronicles 8:4 ) was given among the sons of Bela, the firstborn of Benjamin. The three mighties . Who is the third? We have here but two—Jashobeam and Eleazar. The parallel passage supplies the omission by the name of Shammah the Hararite ( 2 Samuel 23:11 , 2 Samuel 23:33 ; comp. our 2 Samuel 23:27 ). And a careful comparison of the passages suggests how the omission came about, and that it was but part of a larger omission. Between the sentences, "and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle," and "where was a parcel of ground full of barley" (in our next verse, 13) there is an hiatus of two verses (viz. those found in 2 Samuel 23:1-39 , as latter half of 2 Samuel 23:9 , 2 Samuel 23:10 , and former half of 2 Samuel 23:11 ), and this hiatus was occasioned probably by the recurrence of the expression, "and the Philistines were gathered together," in the remaining half of 1 Chronicles 27:11 (see Kennicott's Bible, and 'Speaker's Commentary,' in loc. ) .
