"Sibbecai the Hushathite, Ilai the Ahohite," — 1 Chronicles 11:29 (ASV)
Sibbecai: The correct name. (See 1 Chronicles 27:11.) He slew the giant Saph (2 Samuel 21:18). Samuel calls him Mebunnai, by confusion of similar letters. Sibbecai was a Zarhite, i.e., of clan Zerah. Hushah, his township, was in Judah (1 Chronicles 4:4).
Ilai: Samuel has Zalmon, which may be correct, letters having faded.
Ahohite: See 1 Chronicles 11:12.
