Jashen
Jashen
(Heb. Yashen’. , sleeping, as in Son 7:10, etc.; Septuag. v.r. ), a person, several of whose sons are named as among David’s famous bodyguard (2Sa 23:32), called in the parallel passage HASHEM the Gizonite (1Ch 11:34). Other discrepancies also occur between the two passages: the former names three, while the latter makes the first (Jonathan) son of the next, and both (with slight verbal variations) assign special patronymics to the last two. Perhaps the two accounts may best be reconciled by understanding the two braves referred to as being Jonathan BenShammah (or Ben-Shageh), and Ahiam Ben-Sharar (or Ben-Sacar), grandsons of Jashen (or Hashem) of Gizon, in the mountains of Judah hence called Hararites. B.C. considerable ante 1046. This name Kennicott believes (Dissertation, i, 201-3) lies concealed in the word rendered the Gizonite in Chronicles, and accordingly proposes to read in both places Gouni, of the sons of Hashem; Jonathan, the son of Shamha the Hararite his view being supported by the Alex. copy of the Sept., which reads . However, the want of the before , and the prefixed to the name read by him as Goumni are objections to this view, and Bertheau may probably be right (Chronik. p. 134), that is due to a repetition of the last three letters of the preceding word, the Shaalbonite (), and that we should simply read Hashem the Gizonite. In the list given by Jerome, in his Quaestiones Hebraicae, Jashen and Jonathan are both omitted. SEE DAVID.

Jashen
jashen, jashen (, yashen, asleep(?)): Seemingly the father of some of David s thirty valiant men (2Sa 23:32 f). The Massoretic Text reads Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Jashen, Jonathan, Shammah the Hararite,… 1Ch 11:33 has Eliahba the Shaalbonite, the sons of Hashem the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shagee the Hararite … It is clear that sons of are a dittography of the last three consonants of the previous word. Septuagint, Lucian in 2 Samuel and 1 Chronicles has , ho Goun, the Gunite, for the Gizonite, perhaps correctly (compare Gen 46:24; Num 26:48 for Guni, Gunite). So 2Sa 23:32 may be corrected thus: Eliahba the Shaalbonite, Jashen the Gunite, Jonathan the son of Shammah the Hararite. Jashen then becomes one of the thirty = Hashem of 1Ch 11:34.
