Commentary on 1 Chronicles 27:7
Theological / DevotionalAsahel. Asahel was slain by Abner before David began his reign over the united kingdom (2 Sam. 2:18–23), and he therefore could not have been alive late in the reign of David to fill the position here assigned him. Actually Zebadiah, the son of Asahel, commanded the fourth army corps, and Asahel (see 1 Chron. 11:26) may be mentioned by way of honor to his memory. It is also possible that these army corps had been built around smaller nuclei of units dating from David’s earlier days, and that Zebadiah had taken over his father’s old command.
