I know that. But why is "shalish" an "officer"? Any particular kind of
officer? Does it have to do with chariotry in particuar? Is the word Hebrew,
and
if so, is it related to "shalosh", three? If not, is it Egyptian? Akkadian?

It occurred to me during the night that the 3 who occupied the chariot were
the driver, the warrior, and (I believe) the armor-bearer. Perhaps $LY$
should
be translated as "armor-bearer."
