Uriah: Sa2 11:3, 6-27, Sa2 12:9; Kg1 15:5; Ch1 11:41; Mat 1:6 thirty and seven in all: From the number of these officers being thirty-seven, it is almost self-evident that shalishim cannot denote the thirty, as rendered in Sa2 24:13, etc., but some particular description of men, or officers; for it can scarcely be said, with propriety, that we have thirty-seven out of thirty; and besides, in the parallel place in 1Chronicles, there are sixteen added! Next: 2 Kings (2 Samuel) Chapter 24
