SEV Biblia, Chapter 23:22

Esto hizo Benaía hijo de Joiada, y tuvo nombre entre los tres valientes.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 22. These [things] did Benaiah the son of Jehoiada , etc.] Slew a lion, and two lion-like men of Moab, and an Egyptian of a gigantic stature, ( 2 Samuel 23:20,21): and had the name among three mighty men ; of which he was one, and Abishai another, the third Asahel, one of the thirty; or was over them, ( 2 Samuel 23:24), since thirty are reckoned without him. Abarbinel thinks that the third was Adina, the son of Shiza, the Reubenite, ( Chronicles 11:42); since thirty were with him, and he at the head of them.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 8-39 - David once earnestly longed for the water at the well of Bethlehem. I seems to be an instance of weakness. He was thirsty; with the water of that well he had often refreshed himself when a youth, and it wa without due thought that he desired it. Were his valiant men so forwar to expose themselves, upon the least hint of their prince's mind, an so eager to please him, and shall not we long to approve ourselves to our Lord Jesus, by ready compliance with his will, as shown us by his word, Spirit, and providence? But David poured out the water as drink-offering to the Lord. Thus he would cross his own foolish fancy and punish himself for indulging it, and show that he had sobe thoughts to correct his rash ones, and knew how to deny himself. Di David look upon that water as very precious which was got at the hazar of these men's blood, and shall not we much more value those benefit for purchasing which our blessed Saviour shed his blood? Let all bewar of neglecting so great salvation __________________________________________________________________
