Footnotes

  1. 2 Samuel 23:32 There may be some personal names missing from this line, unless they are on the next line. The parallel text in 1 Chronicles does not solve the problem. The relationship of the sons of Jashen and the sons of Hashem the Gizonite in 1 Chronicles is unclear. Some have suggested that sons of should be omitted in both cases, leaving two names, Jashen and Hashem the Gizonite. An alternative would be to supply names before sons of. The same problem is present in the comparison of Jehonathan Shammah the Hararite with Jonathan son of Shagee the Hararite in 1 Chronicles 11. It is uncertain if this is one name or two.
  2. 2 Samuel 23:33 Or Sakar in 1 Chronicles 11:35
  3. 2 Samuel 23:34 The parallel in 1 Chronicles 11:35 reads Eliphal son of Ur. It is unclear why the patronymics (father’s names) are so different.
  4. 2 Samuel 23:34 There seems to be a name omitted from the list here. The parallel in 1 Chronicles 11:36 reads Hepher the Mekerathite.
  5. 2 Samuel 23:34 The parallel in 1 Chronicles 11:36 has a different name here, Ahijah the Pelonite.
