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.

Hebræi however tres istos arbitrantur fuisse, Abisai son Sarviæ, and Sobochai Usathitem, and Yonathan son Sammaa fratris David, who supra memorati are in præliis Philisthinorum. Cui sententiæ congruere videtur that follows: Abisai too frater Yoab son Sarviæ, etc. Hinc because apparet that Abisai prince was and nominatus between tres sequentes. GREG. Cogitandum it_is, as who illicita commisit from quibusdam also licitis abstineat, as through this conditori his_own satisfaciat, as who commisit prohibita, abscindat sibi also concessa, and se reprehendat in minimis, which meminit peccasse in maximis. Lex Veteris Testamenti wife alienam concupisci prohibet: from rege vero fortia yuberi militibus or desiderare waterm, not/no pœnaliter vetat. David vero alienam wife concupivit and abstulit, cuyus culpam digna verbera are secuta, and evil that perpetravit, through pœnitentiæ lamenta correxit. Who when/with longe after on_the_contrary hostium cuneos sedit, waterm from their cisterna desideravit; cuyus electi milites intra catervas hostium irrumpentes, waterm how desideraverat, illæsi perthey_took. But man flagellis eruditus se protinus when/with periculo militum waterm desiderasse reprehendit, eamque Master fundens libavit.

Who therefore concupiscere alienam conyugem not/no timuit, after also because waterm concupisset, expavit.
