2 Samuel 23:28

2 Samuel 23:28 -

Zalmon . He is called Ilai in 1 Chronicles 11:29 . Ahohite (see note on 1 Chronicles 11:9 ). Maharai the Netophathite. Netophah, in the neighbourhood of Jerusalem ( Ezra 2:22 ), was chiefly inhabited, after the exile, by the singers ( Nehemiah 12:28 ). Robinson identifies it with Beit-Netif, to the south of Jerusalem; but probably erroneously, as Beit-Netif is too far from Bethlehem. Maharai was commander of the tenth brigade, and was a Zarhite, and therefore belonged to the tribe of Judah.
