Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 7. - With this verse, as Keil observes, the description of the successive courses is given with the greatest brevity. Zebadiah was of Judah. Inasmuch as Asahel (1 Chronicles 11:26; 2 Samuel 23:24) was killed by Abner (2 Samuel 2:23) before this division of military courses was made, it is evident that his name in this place marks, not the individual, but the family. Possibly he and his name were held in all the greater regard, and his son Zebadiah best known for the sake of his father.
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(7) The fourth captain for the fourth month.--Heb., the fourth, for the fourth month; an abridged mode of expression, which is preserved from this point to the end of the list.Asahel the brother of Joab.--1Chronicles 11:26. Asahel was slain by Abner at the beginning of David's reign (2Samuel 2:18-23). The added clause, "And Zebadiah his son after him," evidently refers to this fact. Perhaps the difficult statements about Mikloth and Ammizabad in 1Chronicles 27:4; 1Chronicles 27:6 were originally similar to this one about Zebadiah. The fourth division "may have been called by the name of the fallen hero in honour of his memory" (Bertheau).
