2 Samuel 23:23

He was more honourable than the thirty, but he attained not to the first three. And David set him over his guard.

He was more honourable than the thirty,.... Whose names are after recorded:

but he attained not to the first three; the first triumvirate, Jashobeam, Eleazar, and Shammah; he was not equal to them for fortitude, courage, and military exploits:

And David set him over his guard; his bodyguard, the Cherethites and Pelethites, 2 Samuel 8:18; who are called in the Hebrew text "his hearing" {m}, because they hearkened to his orders and commands, and obeyed them.
