2 Samuel 21:18

Gob . In the parallel passage ( 1 Chronicles 20:4 ) this place is called Gezer, and the Septuagint has Gath.

The name is spelt in the same way in 1 Chronicles 11:29 and 1 Chronicles 20:4 , but in the list of the mighties he is called Mebunnai ( 2 Samuel 23:27 ). In 1 Chronicles 27:11 we find that he had the command of the eighth division of the army, consisting of twenty-four thousand men. He is called "the Hushathite," as being a descendant of Hushah, of the family of Judah, in 1 Chronicles 4:4 . Saph, which was of the sons of the giant; Hebrew, of the Raphah: He is called Sippai in 1 Chronicles 20:4 .
