דברי הימים ב, פרק י״ז, פסוק ט״ו

In the organization of the military leadership, the positioning of the commanders reflects both physical location and official authority. The placement of Jehohanan next to the prior commander operates on two complementary levels. On a practical level, Jehohanan physically stood right beside him [ביאור שטיינזלץ]. At the same time, within the military chain of command, this positioning indicates his official status. Jehohanan served as the immediate subordinate, holding the rank directly below the leading commander in the hierarchy [מצודת דוד].
