Contextual Overview

8 These, are the names of the mighty men, who belonged to David, - The president a Tachmonite head of the charioteers, the same, was Adino the Eznite, for eight hundred, slain at one time. 9 And, after him, Eleazar son of Dodo, son of Ahohi, - in the hero-class of mighty men, with David, when they reproached the Philistines, they were gathered together there to battle, but the men of Israel had gone up; 10 he, however, arose and smote among the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clave unto his sword, so Yahweh wrought a great victory on that day, - the people, coming back after him, only to strip the slain. 11 And, after him, Shammah son of Agee, the Hararite, - and, when the Philistines were gathered together into a troop, there being at hand an allotment of field-land full of lentils, but, the people, having fled from the face of the Philistines, 12 then took he his stand in the midst of the allotment, and defended it, and smote the Philistines, - and Yahweh wrought a great victory. 13 And three of the thirty chiefs descended, and came in, towards harvest, unto David, unto the cave of Adullam, - although, a troop of Philistines, were encamped in the vale of Rephaim; 14 and, David, then was in a stronghold, - and, a garrison of Philistines, was then in Bethlehem. 15 And David longed, and said, - Who will give me to drink water out of the well of Bethlehem, that is within the gate? 16 And the three mighty men brake through the camp of Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, that was within the gate, and bare it, and brought it in unto David, - yet would he not drink, but poured it out unto Yahweh, 17 and said - Be it far from me, O Yahweh, that I should do this! is it not the blood of the men who went with their lives in their hands ? So he would not drink it. These things, did the three mighty men.

Igal: 1 Chronicles 11:38, Joel

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah,.... kingdom in Syria, 2 Samuel 8:3; according to Hillerus s the same with Joel, 1 Chronicles 11:38;

Bani the Gadite; who was of the tribe of Gad, as the Targum; in the room of this stands "Mibhar, the son of Haggeri", in 1 Chronicles 11:38.

s Onomastic. Sacr. p. 856.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

It is remarkable that we have several foreigners at this part of the list: Igal of Zobah, Zelek the Ammonite, Uriah the Hittite, and perhaps Nahari the Beerothite. The addition of Zelek to the mighty men was probably the fruit of David’s war with Ammon 2 Samuel 8:12; 2 Samuel 10:0; 2 Samuel 12:26-31.
