"Heleb the son of Baanah the Netophathite, Ittai the son of Ribai of Gibeah of the children of Benjamin," — 2 Samuel 23:29 (ASV)
Heleb. —The name is variously written Heled (1 Chronicles 11:30) and Heldai (1 Chronicles 27:15). He was the general for the twelfth month.
Ittai, or Ithai (1 Chronicles 11:31), is to be distinguished from Ittai the Gittite, since this man was from Gibeah of Benjamin.
