Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

It is remarkable that we have several foreigners at this part of the list: Igal of Zobah, Zelek the Ammonite, Uriah the Hittite, and perhaps Nahari the Beerothite. The addition of Zelek to the mighty men was probably the fruit of David's war with Ammon 2-Samuel 8:12; 10; 2-Samuel 12:26-31.

Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah,.... kingdom in Syria, 2-Samuel 8:3; according to Hillerus (s) the same with Joel, 1-Chronicles 11:38,
Bani the Gadite; who was of the tribe of Gad, as the Targum; in the room of this stands "Mibhar, the son of Haggeri", in 1-Chronicles 11:38.
(s) Onomastic. Sacr. p. 856.

Jigal the son of Nathan of Zoba (see at 2-Samuel 8:3): in the Chronicles, Joel the brother of Nathan. Bani the Gadite: in the Chronicles we have Mibhar the son of Hagri. In all probability the names inf the Chronicles are corrupt in this instance also.
