Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 1 Chronicles 11:34

The sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite,

34. the sons of Hashem the Gizonite ] The corresponding clause in 2Sa 23:32 is simply “the sons of Jashen.” The text is corrupt in both places. LXX. (Chron.) for the sons of has the proper name “Benaiah.” Read perhaps “Jashen the Gunite” (cp. Num 26:48) omitting the sons of (Heb. bn) as arising from a mistaken repetition of the last three letters of Shaalbonite (Heb. form).

Jonathan the son of Shage ] Cp. 2Sa 23:32-33, where the right reading seems to be “Jonathan the son of Shammah.” Nothing is known of the meaning of “Hararite,” nor is the reading certain.

The sons of Hashem – It is impossible that this can be the true reading, since an individual warrior must be spoken of. Comparing 2Sa 23:32, perhaps the most probable conjecture is that the Beni-Hashem of Chronicles and the Beni Jashen of Samuel alike conceal some single name of a man which cannot now be recovered.

Jonathan here following, and Shammah here omitted, but expressed 2Sa 23:32,33.

(34) The sons of Hashem the Gizonite.Samuel has the sons of Jashen, Jonathan (Heb.). Here the Syriac and Arabic have the sons of Shm of Azun, Jonathan son of Shaga of Mount Carmel. The word sons (bn) is an accidental repetition of the last three letters of the Hebrew word for Shaalbonite. Jashen the Gizonite is probably the right reading.

Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite.This appears more correct than the text of Samuel, Shammah the Hararite. Shammah son of Age the Hararite was the third hero of the first triad (2Sa. 23:11). Perhaps, therefore, the original reading here was Jonathan son of Age (or Shammah) the Hararite. The Syriac and Arabic, however, support Shage.
