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 Hashem[¹] the Gizonite, Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite;
[¹] In 2 Samuel xxiii. 32, Jashen.
34. the sons of Hashem the Gizonite] The corresponding clause in 2 Samuel xxiii. 32 is simply “the sons of Jashen.” The text is corrupt in both places. LXX. (Chronicles) for the sons of has the proper name “Benaiah.” Read perhaps “Jashen the Gunite” (compare Numbers xxvi. 48) omitting the sons of (Hebrew bĕnē) as arising from a mistaken repetition of the last three letters of Shaalbonite (Hebrew form).
Jonathan the son of Shage] Compare 2 Samuel xxiii. 32, 33, where the right reading seems to be “Jonathan the son of Shammah.” Nothing is known of the meaning of “Hararite,” nor is the reading certain.
³⁵Ahiam the son of Sacar[¹] the Hararite, Eliphal[²] the son of Ur; ³⁶Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite;
[¹] In 2 Samuel xxiii. 33, Sharar.
[²] In 2 Samuel xxiii. 34, Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai.
35. Sacar] In 2 Samuel “Sharar.”
