Ira an Ithrite, Gareb an Ithrite. These were of Jether, as the Targum, a descendant of Caleb, of the tribe of Judah, 1-Chronicles 2:50 1-Chronicles 4:15.

Ira and Gareb, both of them Jithrites, i.e., sprung from a family in Kirjath-jearim (1-Chronicles 2:53). Ira is of course a different man from the cohen of that name (2-Samuel 20:26).
