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. Josephus hic apertius dicit quid fuerit, scilicet, cisterna nimis profunda, tempore hyemis nivis aggere coæquata. In hanc leo inscius decidit, et conclusus grandi rugitu clamavit. Banaias vero qui cum cæteris ad spectaculum venit, in cisternam desiliit, et leonem interfecit. Banaias, qui interpretatur ædificator Dominus, Christum significat, qui Ecclesiam ædificat. Unde Paulus: Dei ædificatio estis. Hic in tempore nivis et frigoris, cum scilicet gratia Christi mundo resplenduit, et frigus charitatis homines refrigeravit, leonem, id est, diabolum interfecit. 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.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

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.
