Arorite, or Harodite, (2 Kings) to distinguish him from Shammah. Eliza, who follows in 2 Kings is here universally omitted, as he is supposed to have died soon, and to have been replaced by Zabad, (ver. 41.) who completes the number of 30. (Kennicott) --- Phalonite; not Paltite, as 2 Kings, where t has been formed of the two letters un. So Septuagint have read Adni, "my lord," perhaps correctly, (Kennicott) instead of Adan, "any man’s," (1 Kings xvii. 32.) as the two letters might easily be mistaken for one. (Kennicott) --- Helles was the captain for the seventh month, as the following was for the sixth, and Abiezer for the ninth, chap. xxvii. 10. (Haydock)

27. the Harorite] Read, the Herodite (so Sam.). Cp. Jdg_6:23; Jdg_7:1, whence it appears that Harod was in (or near) the valley of Jezreel. Cp. also 1Ch_27:8 (“Shamhuth the Izrahite”), where the same person seems to be meant. “Elika the Harodite” (Sam.) is not found in Chron.
Helez the Pelonite] Cp. 1Ch_27:10, where he is described as a captain of the children of Ephraim. In 2Sa_23:26 however it is Helez the Paltite, i.e. (apparently) “the inhabitant of Beth-pelet” in the south of Judah (Jos_15:27).

(27) Shammoth the Harorite.—Samuel has “Shammah (of which Shammoth is plural) the Harodite.” A place called Harod occurs in Jdg_7:1. (Comp. also 1Ch_27:8, Note.) 2Sa_23:26 adds another Harodite, Elika (? Elikam), omitted here by accident.
Helez the Pelonite.—Samuel, “the Paltite,” perhaps more correctly. The Syriac and Arabic read “of Palton” and “Faltûna.” Bethpelet was a town of Judah (Neh_11:26), but 1Ch_27:10 calls Helez “the Pelonite of the sons of Ephraim.” The Heb. peloni (Authorised Version, Pelonite), means so-and-so, and may be a scribe’s substitute for an illegible name.

Harorite. The parallel passage has Harodite, the local identification of Shammoth, as from Hated, known for its spring, (Jud_1:7:1) by which Gideon encamped, where also the army was tested by its mode of drinking. Some think it the same with the fountain of Jezreel. (1Sa_29:1) Izrahite seems to have been the family distinction of Shammoth, (1Ch_27:8) from Zerah son of Judah. He is the fifth captain. In the parallel his name is followed by Elika, who is also called "the Harodite." Helez the Pelonite. Though the parallel place has Paltite, the present form probably should hold its own. Helez is the seventh captain of division, and said to belong to the "sons of Ephraim". (1Ch_27:10, and Septuagint in all three passages)
