Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - Among the thirty, and over the thirty. Yet the name of Ismaiah does not appear in the list of the preceding chapter, nor in its parallel; nor is it possible to identify it with any that does appear there. The suggested explanation is that he was in the first edition of that list, and died early. The expression, "among the thirty, and over the thirty," may possibly mean that, from distinction as one of them, he was promoted above them to be leader of them. Josabad the Gederathite. The name should be spelt Jozabad. The Gederah here suggested cannot to all appearance be that of Joshua 15:36, in the Shephelah of Judah, as Jozabad was a Benjamite. If otherwise, it must be supposed to have come in some way into the possession of Benjamin.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) Ismaiah the Gibeonite.--Gibeon belonged to Benjamin (1Chronicles 9:35), and 1Chronicles 12:2 proves that Ismaiah was a Benjamite, not a Gibeonite in the strict sense of the term.A mighty man among the thirty.--The "thirty" must be the famous corps (1Chronicles 11:25). Ismaiah's name does not occur in the catalogue, perhaps because he died before it was drawn up.Over the thirty may mean that at one time he was captain of the band, or it may simply denote comparison--"a hero above the thirty."Josabad the Gederathite; of Gederah in the lowland of Judah (Joshua 15:36). Josabad is perhaps the same as Zabad ben Ahlai (1Chronicles 11:41), one of the thirty. . . .
