Shochoh which belongeth to Judah - See the marginal reference which places Shochoh and Azekah in the ‘Shephelah’ or maritime plain, and 2Ch 28:18, ‘Shochoh’ now ‘Shuweikeh,’ ‘nine miles from Eleutheropolis,’ Jerome.

   “Jashobeam, an Hachmonite--or, ‘son of Hachmoni.’ He is called also son of Zabdiel (1Ch 27:2), so that, strictly speaking, he was the grandson of Hachmoni (compare 1Ch 27:32). lifted up his spear against three hundred slain by him at one time--The feat is said (2Sa 23:8) to have been a slaughter of eight hundred in one day.”

   “Compare this passage with 2Sa 23:9-10. Barley - In 2Sa 23:11, ‘lentiles.’ The words for barley and lentils are so similar in the Hebrew that we may fairly explain the diversity by an accidental corruption.”
