Explaining Name Variations
Commentators note that 'Mebunnai' in this verse is called 'Sibbecai' in other passages. Scholars explain this is likely due to the names being very similar in Hebrew, leading to a minor scribal error, or that the individual simply had two names. This shows how cross-referencing Scripture helps clarify details and confirms these are the same heroic individual.
