"And this¹ [is] the numberª of the mighty menª whom¹ Davidª had; Jashobeam,ª an Hachmonite,ª¹ the chiefª of the captains:ª°² he¹ lifted upª°¹ his spearª against¹ threeª hundredª slainª [by him] at oneª time.ª ...

yoshaiv bashshaiveth tachkemoni, we should read
yoshavam ben chachmoni, "Joshebeam, son of Hachmoni;' and instead of
hoo adino haetzni, hoo orair eth chanitho, "he lift up his spear," which are the readings in the parallel place in Chronicles, where it is also, "three hundred," instead of "eight hundred."
