David's several officers He was a descendant of Perez The mention of Perez is significant in the biblical narrative. Perez was one of the twin sons of Judah and Tamar, and his lineage is crucial as it is through Perez that the line of David, and ultimately Jesus Christ, is traced. The Hebrew root for Perez means "breach" or "burst forth," symbolizing breakthrough and divine intervention. This lineage highlights God's sovereignty in using unexpected circumstances to fulfill His promises. The inclusion of Perez's descendants in leadership roles underscores the fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, demonstrating His faithfulness across generations. chief of all the army officers for the first month The chief of all the captains of the host for the first month.--This notice about Jashobeam is obscure. The "captains of the host" (Heb., hosts) seem to be the twelve generals of division. (Comp. 1Chronicles 27:5.) Jashobeam, as the first of David's heroes, may have enjoyed a kind of precedence among the commanders of the army corps; although he was not commander-in-chief of the entire national forces, which was the function of Joab. Or perhaps it is meant merely to emphasise the fact that Jashobeam was "the first" in the rotation of the generals; so that the phrase "for the first month" explains what precedes it. Or "the captains of the hosts" may possibly mean the officers of the subdivisions of the first army corps, of whom Jashobeam was, of course, the chief. The context appears to favour this last explanation. Verse 3. - This verse tells us that Jasho-beam belonged to the tribe of Judah, through Perez, the fourth son of Judah (1 Chronicles 2:4).Parallel Commentaries ...
