Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,
KJV
Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,
Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah,.... kingdom in Syria, 2Sa 8:3; according to Hillerus (s) the same with Joel, 1Ch 11:38, Bani the Gadite; who was of the tribe of Gad, as the Targum; in the room of this stands "Mibhar, the son of Haggeri", in 1Ch 11:38. (s) Onomastic. Sacr. p. 856.
It is remarkable that we have several foreigners at this part of the list: Igal of Zobah, Zelek the Ammonite, Uriah the Hittite, and perhaps Nahari the Beerothite. The addition of Zelek to the mighty men was probably the fruit of David’s war with Ammon 2Sa 8:12; 10; 2Sa 12:26-31.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
