# Abishai
|
|
|
|
See how you translated this man's name in [1 Chronicles 2:16](../02/16.md).
|
|
|
|
# captain over the Three
|
|
|
|
This means Abishai was the leader of the three men who went and got water for David.
|
|
|
|
# three hundred
|
|
|
|
"300 men" or "300 warriors" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/translate-numbers]])
|
|
|
|
# He had a name along with the Three
|
|
|
|
The word "name" here is a metonym for a good reputation, for being honored as a mighty warrior. Alternate translation: "People honored him the same way they honored the Three" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
