Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65]
Lentiles - Or barley, as it is Ch1 11:13. For both might grow in the same field, in divers parts of it. And this fact is ascribed to Eleazar, Ch1 11:12, but it is implied, that he had some partner or partners in it; for it is there said, Ch1 11:14 they set themselves, &c. So Eleazar might fight in that part where the barley was and Shammah where the lentiles were.

Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826
A piece of ground full of lentiles - In Ch1 11:13 it is a parcel of ground full of barley. There is probably a mistake of עדשים adashim, lentiles, for שעורים 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.
