_Abiezer the Anathothite_] xxvii. 12 and 2 Samuel xxiii. 27. Anathoth was in Benjamin; it was Jeremiah’s village (Jeremiah i. 1, xi. 21 ff.), now _Anāta_, 2½ miles north-north-east of Jerusalem. ²⁹Sibbecai¹ the Hushathite, Ilai² the Ahohite; ¹ In 2 Samuel xxiii. 27, _Mebunnai_. ² In 2 Samuel xxiii. 28, _Zalmon_. =29.= _Sibbecai_] So xxvii. 11, but in 2 Samuel xxiii. 27 “Mebunnai.” _the Hushathite_] _Hushah_ is probably the name of some place near Beth-lehem (iv. 4). _Shuah_ (iv. verse 11) may be another form of the name. _Ilai_] In 2 Samuel xxiii. 28 “Zalmon.” The two words are perhaps only various readings of the name which originally appeared in the list. _the Ahohite_] He was of a Benjamite family; viii. 4 (“Ahoah”). ³⁰Maharai the Netophathite, Heled¹ the son of Baanah the Netophathite; ¹ In 2 Samuel xxiii. 29, _Heleb_. =30.= _Maharai the Netophathite_] So in xxvii. 13, with “of the Zerahites” (Revised Version) added. A _Netophathite_ might come either from Netophah (a village in Judah not far from Beth-lehem), or from the “villages of the Netophathites” (ix. 16, note). _Heled_] In xxvii. 15 “Heldai,” a name found in Zechariah iv. 10. “Heleb” in 2 Samuel xxiii. 29 is probably a wrong reading. ³¹Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite; =31.= _Ithai_] In 2 Samuel xxiii. 29 “Ittai,” the same name as in 2 Samuel xv. 19, xviii. 2, but a different person is meant. _Benaiah the Pirathonite_] So in xxvii. 14; 2 Samuel xxiii. 30. Pirathon was a town in Ephraim; Judges xii. 15. Probably the place is mentioned also in 1 Maccabees ix. 50 (τὴν Θαμνάθα Φαραθών). ³²Hurai¹ of the brooks of Gaash, Abiel² the Arbathite; ¹ In 2 Samuel xxiii. 30, _Hiddai_. ² In 2 Samuel xxiii. 31, _Abi-albon_. =32.= _Hurai_] In 2 Samuel xxiii. 30, “Hiddai.” The true form of the name is uncertain; neither form occurs elsewhere. _Gaash_] A mountain in Ephraim; Judges ii. 9 (= Joshua xxiv. 30). _Abiel_] In 2 Samuel xxiii. 31 “Abi-albon.” “Arbathite” means “inhabitant of Beth Arabah”; a town on the border between Judah and Benjamin, Joshua xv. 6. ³³Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite; =33.= _Baharumite_] In 2 Samuel xxiii. 31 “Barhumite.” We should read in both places, = Bahurimite=, i.e. “inhabitant of Bahurim,” a town of Benjamin (2 Samuel iii. 16). _Shaalbonite_] i.e. “inhabitant of Shaalbim” (Judges i. 35), or “Shaalabbin” (Joshua xix. 42), a town in Dan. ³⁴the sons of Hashem¹ the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite; ¹ In 2 Samuel xxiii. 32, _Jashen_.
