2 Samuel 23:34

2 Samuel 23:34 -

Eliphelet the son of Ahasbai, the son of the Maachathite. In Chronicles this becomes "Elipha the son of Ur, Hepher the Mecherathite." If the text here is correct, Eliphelet must be a native of Beth-Maachah, a town in Naphtali ( 2 Samuel 20:14 ). Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite. Instead of this, we find "Ahijah the Pelonite" in 1 Chronicles 11:36 . Eliam is supposed by many to have been Bathsheba's father (see note on 2 Samuel 11:3 ; and for Ahithophel the Gilonite, note on 2 Samuel 15:12 ).
