On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Benaiah . . . was over the host--formerly captain of the guard. He had succeeded Joab as commander of the forces. Zadok and Abiathar were the priests--Only the first discharged the sacred functions; the latter had been banished to his country seat and retained nothing more than the name of high priest.
