Midrasz do Samuela II 2:30

וְיוֹאָ֗ב שָׁ֚ב מֵאַחֲרֵ֣י אַבְנֵ֔ר וַיִּקְבֹּ֖ץ אֶת־כָּל־הָעָ֑ם וַיִּפָּ֨קְד֜וּ מֵעַבְדֵ֥י דָוִ֛ד תִּשְׁעָֽה־עָשָׂ֥ר אִ֖ישׁ וַעֲשָׂה־אֵֽל׃

Joab zaś wróciwszy z pościgu za Abnerem zgromadził cały lud wojenny, a ubyło ze sług Dawida tylko dziewiętnastu ludzi i Asahel. 

Sifrei Devarim

Similarly, (II Samuel 2:30) "And there were lacking of David's servants, nineteen men and Asahel." Now was not Asahel included (in "David's servants")? Why, then, was he singled out for special mention? We hereby infer that he was more formidable than all of them. Similarly, (I Kings 11:1) "And King Solomon loved many foreign women and the daughter of Pharaoh." Now was the daughter of Pharaoh not included (among the women)? Why, then, was she singled out for special mention? We hereby infer that she was more beloved than all, and, vis-à-vis sin, that she caused him to sin more than all. They said: On the day that Solomon wed Pharaoh's daughter, Gavriel descended and stuck a reed in the sea, which raised a sandbank upon which was built the great city of Rome. And on the day when Yeravam set up the two calves, Ramilo and Romolo and his son built two cities in Rome.
