ClVg Necnon et ante descenderant tres qui erant principes inter triginta, et venerant tempore messis ad David in speluncam Odollam: castra autem Philisthinorum erant posita in Valle gigantum.[fn]
(Necnon and before descenderant three who they_were leaders between thirty, and venerant at_the_time messis to David in/into/on cavem Odollam: castra however Philisthinorum they_were posita in/into/on Valle gigantum. )
23.13 Descenderant tres. Tres fortes supra nominati, et Jesboam filius Achamoni, quem Josephus Eusebium filium Achimeæ nominat. Et Eleazar filius Ahohi, quem dicit filium esse Dodo, et Semma filius Age, quem Semeiam filium Heli vocat. Hebræi autem tres istos arbitrantur fuisse, Abisai filium Sarviæ, et Sobochai Usathitem, et Jonathan filium Sammaa fratris David, qui supra memorati sunt in præliis Philisthinorum. Cui sententiæ congruere videtur quod sequitur: Abisai quoque frater Joab filius Sarviæ, etc. Hinc enim apparet quod Abisai princeps erat et nominatus inter tres sequentes. GREG. Cogitandum est, ut qui illicita commisit a quibusdam etiam licitis abstineat, ut per hoc conditori suo satisfaciat, ut qui commisit prohibita, abscindat sibi etiam concessa, et se reprehendat in minimis, quem meminit peccasse in maximis. Lex Veteris Testamenti uxorem alienam concupisci prohibet: a rege vero fortia juberi militibus vel desiderare aquam, non pœnaliter vetat. David vero alienam uxorem concupivit et abstulit, cujus culpam digna verbera sunt secuta, et malum quod perpetravit, per pœnitentiæ lamenta correxit. Qui cum longe post contra hostium cuneos sedit, aquam ex eorum cisterna desideravit; cujus electi milites intra catervas hostium irrumpentes, aquam quam desideraverat, illæsi pertulerunt. Sed vir flagellis eruditus se protinus cum periculo militum aquam desiderasse reprehendit, eamque Domino fundens libavit. In sacrificium enim Domini effusa aqua conversa est, quia culpam concupiscentiæ mactavit per pœnitentiam suæ reprehensionis. Qui ergo concupiscere alienam conjugem non timuit, post etiam quia aquam concupisset, expavit.
23.13 Descenderant three. Tres strong above named, and Yesboam son Achamoni, which Yosephus Eusebium son Achimeæ names. And Eleazar son Ahohi, which he_says son to_be Dodo, and Semma son Age, which Semeiam son Heli he_calls. Hebræi however three to_thiss arbitrantur to_have_been, Abisai son Sarviæ, and Sobochai Usathitem, and Yonathan son Sammaa brother's David, who above memorati are in/into/on beforeliis Philisthinorum. To_whom sententiæ congruere it_seems that follows: Abisai too brother Yoab son Sarviæ, etc. Hence because apparet that Abisai prince was and namesus between three following. GREG. Cogitandum it_is, as who thereita commisit from quibusdam also licitis abstineat, as through this founderi his_own satisfaciat, as who commisit prohibita, abscindat to_himself also concessa, and himself reprehendat in/into/on minimis, which meminit peccasse in/into/on maximis. Lex Veteris Tesneverthelessti wife foreignm concupisci prohibits: from king indeed/however bravea yuberi militibus or desiderare water, not/no pœnaliter vetat. David indeed/however foreignm wife concupivit and took_away, whose culpam worthy verbera are secuta, and evil that perpetravit, through pœnitentiæ lamenta correxit. Who when/with far_away after on_the_contrary hostium cuneos sat_down, water from their cistern desideravit; whose electi milites intra catervas hostium irrumpentes, water how desideraverat, illæsi perthey_took. But man flagellis eruditus himself protinus when/with periculo soldiers water desiderasse reprehendit, herque Master fundens libavit. In sacrifice because Master effusa water conversa it_is, because culpam concupiscentiæ mactavit through repentance his_own reprehensionis. Who therefore concupiscere foreignm conyugem not/no was_afraid, after also because water concupisset, expavit.
