SCRIPTURE

"Ahiam the son of Sacar the Hararite, Eliphal the son of Ur," — 1 Chronicles 11:35 (ASV)

Sacar (wages) is probably right, not “Sharar” (Samuel). Septuagint Vat. has “Achar,” but Alex. “Sachar.” Syriac, “Sacham.”

Instead of Hararite, Samuel has “Ararite,” or “Adrite” (Syr.).

Eliphal, the son of Ur. —Instead of this, Samuel reads, “Eliphelet son of Ahasbai son of the Maachathite.” Eliphelet (the name of a son of David) seems right.
