Identifying David's Warriors
Commentators identify the men in this verse, noting Benaiah the Pirathonite was a general from Ephraim, distinct from the Benaiah in verse 20. They also explain that Hiddai is called 'Hurai' in the parallel list in 1 Chronicles. This difference is attributed to a common scribal error where the similar Hebrew letters for 'd' and 'r' were confused, helping readers understand minor textual variations in Scripture.
