Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

Naharai--armorbearer to Joab (2-Samuel 23:37). The non-occurrence of Joab's name in any of the three catalogues is most probably to be accounted for by the circumstance that his office as commander-in-chief raised him to a position superior to all these orders of military knighthood.
