"Joel the brother of Nathan, Mibhar the son of Hagri," — 1 Chronicles 11:38 (ASV)
Joel the brother of Nathan. —The book of Samuel reads, “Jigal (a name found in Numbers 13:7) son of Nathan of Zobah.” This is probably correct. Zobah was a Syrian state.
Mibhar the son of Haggeri. —“Mibhar” (choice) is unlikely as a proper name, and is probably a corruption of Miçcobah, “of Zobah,” as in Samuel. After this word, the book of Samuel adds, “Bani the Gadite.” The name “Bani” has fallen out of our text. “Haggeri” is an easy corruption of Haggadi “the Gadite.”
