BrLXX Ἐκ τῶν τριῶν ἐκείνων ἔνδοξος, καὶ ἐγένετο αὐτοῖς εἰς ἄρχοντα, καὶ ἕως τῶν τριῶν οὐκ ἦλθε.
(Ek tōn triōn ekeinōn endoxos, kai egeneto autois eis arⱪonta, kai heōs tōn triōn ouk aʸlthe. )
23:8-39 This section is a listing of David’s elite warriors by name, the most prominent of whom are listed with a notable accomplishment. These warriors were some of the “iron tools” that God used to “chop down” the godless (23:7).
• The list divides into the Three and the Thirty. Some Hebrew scholars have suggested that the Thirty be translated as “Officers.” If that is correct, then it is possible that the Three was originally a term for a specific military office.

(Occurrence 0) Was he not even more famous than the three?
(Some words not found in UHB: from/more_than the,thirty ?,that honored and=he/it_was to/for=them as,commander and=unto the,three not attain )
This question is used to emphasize how famous he was. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this question as a statement. Alternate translation: “He was even more famous than the three.”
(Occurrence 0) three most famous soldiers
(Some words not found in UHB: from/more_than the,thirty ?,that honored and=he/it_was to/for=them as,commander and=unto the,three not attain )
This refers to Josheb Basshebeth, Eleazar, and Shimeah. Abishai was not as famous as these soldiers.
