Scholars note that this list of names presents challenges when compared to the parallel list in 1 Chronicles. For example, 'Shammah the Hararite' may be the father of another warrior, Jonathan, mentioned in Chronicles, and 'Sharar' is spelled 'Sacar' there. Commentators also explain that 'Hararite' likely means from a mountainous region. These details, while technical, remind us that these were real men from specific places, and the Bible's records have been carefully studied and preserved.
