2 Samuel 23:19

Of those three [he was] most honourable, and he became a chief over them, but he reached not to the [first] three.

Of those three [he was] most honorable, and he became a chief over them, but he reached not to the [first] three.

Was he not most honourable of three? therefore he was their captain: howbeit he attained not unto the first three.

Wasn’t he most honorable of the three? Therefore he was made their captain. However he wasn’t included as one of the three.
