23.20 Et Bana. Qui erat magister de Capseel, id est, de congregatione Dei in Cerethi et Pheleti, qui interpretantur occidentes et vivificantes. Ipse percussit quos Paralipomenon duos Ariel Moab nominat. Hi ergo viri fortissimi fuerunt in regno Moab, unde et leones dicuntur. Ariel enim leo Dei interpretatur. In media.

Hebræus vero hunc leonem Moab intelligit, qui in medio cisternæ, id est, in domo Domini, ubi tenebat cornua altaris, occisus est. Altare vero cisterna dicitur, quia sicut aqua cisternæ abluit et mundat, ita sanctuarium Domini purgat peccata. In diebus nivis, quia per mortem expiavit peccatum. Unde: Lavabis me, quod impletum est in medio cisternæ; et super nivem dealbabor, quod impletum est in eo quod ait diebus nivis.
23.20 And Bana. Who was magister de Capseel, id it_is, about congregatione of_God in Cerethi and Pheleti, who interpretantur occidentes and vivificantes. Exactly_that percussit which Paralipomenon duos Ariel Moab nominat. They therefore viri fortissimi fuerunt in regno Moab, whence and leones dicuntur. Ariel because leo of_God interpretatur. In media. Yosephus this apertius dicit quid has_been, scilicet, cisterna nimis profunda, tempore hyemis nivis aggere coæquata. In hanc leo inscius decidit, and conclusus grandi rugitu clamavit. Banaias vero who when/with cæteris to spectaculum venit, in cisternam desiliit, and leonem interfecit. Banaias, who interpretatur ædificator Master, Christum significat, who Ecclesiam ædificat. Unde Paulus: of_God ædificatio estis. Hic in tempore nivis and frigoris, when/with scilicet gratia of_Christ mundo resplenduit, and frigus charitatis homines refrigeravit, leonem, id it_is, diabolum interfecit. Hebræus vero this_one leonem Moab intelligit, who in in_the_middle cisternæ, id it_is, in at_home Master, where tenebat cornua altaris, occisus it_is. Altare vero cisterna it_is_said, because like water cisternæ abluit and mundat, ita sanctuarium Master purgat peccata. In days nivis, because through mortem expiavit peccatum. Whence: Lavabis me, that impletum it_is in in_the_middle cisternæ; and over nivem dealbabor, that impletum it_is in eo that he_said diebus nivis.
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.
