the armor-bearer of Joab son of Zeruiah

on 1 Chronicles 11:39-41

Naharai the Beerothite was the armor-bearer of Joab, and Joab stands in none of the ranks. The last name the roll shares with Samuel is Uriah the Hittite, whose wife and death fill 2 Samuel 11. Chronicles omits David's sin with Bathsheba, yet it keeps Uriah among the mighty men.

Ira the Ithrite

The Ithrites were a clan of Kiriath-jearim in Judah, listed in 1 Chronicles 2:53. Two men of one clan stand side by side. This Ira is a different man from Ira son of Ikkesh in verse 28.
