Scholars provide context for these two warriors, showing they were more than just names on a list. Zalmon the Ahohite is identified as 'Ilai' in 1 Chronicles and was a descendant of Benjamin. Maharai the Netophathite came from Netophah, a town in Judah near Bethlehem, and served as a commander over one of the twelve divisions of David's army. These details remind us that God's record honors the specific contributions of individuals in His service.
