Después de él, fue Sama, hijo de Age ararita. Los filisteos se habían concentrado en tropa donde había un terreno lleno de lentejas, y el pueblo había huido de los filisteos.
Samuel 23:11"> 11 Después de éste fué Samma, hijo de Age Araita: que habiéndose juntado los Filisteos en una aldea, había allí una suerte de tierra llena de lentejas, y el pueblo había huído delante de los Filisteos:
Después de éste fue Sama, hijo de Age ararita; que habiéndose juntado los filisteos en una aldea, había allí un pequeño terreno lleno de lentejas, y el pueblo había huido delante de los filisteos.

into a troop: or, for foraging
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And after him [was] Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite,.... One who was of the mountainous country, as the Targum, the hill country of Judea, of Hebron, or the parts adjacent; this was the third of the first three; there was one of this name among the thirty, 2 Samuel 23:33;
and the Philistines were gathered together into a troop; but so they were no doubt at first; R. Isaiah takes it to be the name of a place called Chiyah; as the Targum, Chayatha; and which Kimchi says was a village, an unwalled town; and Ben Melech observes, that it is said in the Arabic language, a collection of houses is called Alchai: it may be the same with Lehi, where Samson slew a thousand with the jawbone of an ass, Judges 15:17, whence it had its name; and Josephus u says, the place where the Philistines were gathered together was called "the Jawbone": but perhaps the sense of Ben Gersom may be best of all, that they gathered together in this place for provision, for food and forage, to support the life of them and their cattle: since it follows,
where was a piece of ground full of lentiles; a sort of pulse, which was eaten in those countries, and the pottage of which was delicious food, see Genesis 25:30;
and the people fled from the Philistines; as they did before under Eleazar, 2 Samuel 23:9.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Hararite - Interpreted to mean “mountaineer,†one from the hill country of Judah or Ephraim.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 2 Samuel 23:11. A piece of ground full of lentiles — In 1 Chronicles 11:13 it is a parcel of ground full of barley. There is probably a mistake of ×¢×“×©×™× adashim, lentiles, for ×©×¢×•×¨×™× seorim, barley, or vice versa. Some think there were both lentiles and barley in the field, and that a marauding party of the Philistines came to destroy or carry them off, and these worthies defeated the whole, and saved the produce of the field. This is not unlikely.
