12, 13. These verses answer In part to 1Ch_11:9; 1Ch_11:11 of Samuel, but since 1Ch_11:10 and parts of 1Ch_11:9; 1Ch_11:11 of Sam. have no equivalent in Chron., two incidents are confounded, and the name of a hero (Shammah) is omitted, his exploit being ascribed to Eleazar.

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain Eleazar. Perhaps the same as Azareel in the list…
Eleazar. Perhaps the same as Azareel in the list at 1Ch_12:6, in which Jashobeam is also found. Dodo. This name is found in three forms, the Chethiv being Dodi; the Keri, Dodo; and Dodai being found in 1Ch_27:4. He is mentioned in 1Ch_27:4 as "over the course of the second month in his course likewisetwenty and four thousand." The Ahohite. In the parallel passage, (2Sa_23:9) for yjiwOjah; here, we find yjiwOja. Ahohite is the patronymic of the Ahoah, who (1Ch_8:4) was given among the sons of Bela, the firstborn of Benjamin. The three mighties. Who is the third? We have here but two Jashobeam and Eleazar. The parallel passage supplies the omission by the name of Shammah the Hararite (2Sa_23:11, 2Sa_23:33; comp. our ver. 27). And a careful comparison of the passages suggests how the omission came about, and that it was but part of a larger omission. Between the sentences, "and there the Philistines were gathered together to battle," and "where was a parcel of ground full of barley" (in our next verse, 13) there is a hiatus of two verses (viz. those found in 2Sa 23, as latter half of ver. 9, ver. 10, and former half of ver. 11), and this hiatus was occasioned probably by the recurrence of the expression," and the Philistines were gathered together," in the remaining half of ver. 11 (see Kennicott"s Bible, and "Speaker"s Commentary," in loc. ).
