Footnotes

  1. 2 Samuel 23:30 Also called Hurai in 1 Chronicles 11:32. The words look similar in Hebrew script.
  2. 2 Samuel 23:31 Also called Abiel in 1 Chronicles 11:32. The relationship of Abiel and Abi-Albon is unclear.
  3. 2 Samuel 23:31 Also called Baharumite in 1 Chronicles 11:33 with the transposition of two letters.
  4. 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.
