Charles Ellicott Commentary 1 Chronicles 27:8

"The fifth captain for this fifth month was Shamhuth the Izrahite: and in his course were twenty and four thousand." — 1 Chronicles 27:8 (ASV)

The fifth captain for the fifth month. —Rather, the fifth, for the fifth month, was the captain Shamhuth. Shamhuth is called Shammoth the Harorite in 1 Chronicles 11:27, and Shammah the Harodite in 2 Samuel 23:25.

The Izrahite. —Heb., ha-yizráh, which is probably a mistake for ha-zarhî, the Zarhite (compare 1 Chronicles 27:11; 1 Chronicles 27:13), i.e., a member of the Judean clan called Zerah. Harod was his town.
