mib´har ( מבחר , mibhḥār , "choice"(?)): According to 1 Chronicles 11:38 , the name of one of David's heroes. No such name, however, occurs in the parallel passage (2 Samuel 23:36 ). A comparison of the two records makes it probable that mibhḥar is a corruption of miccōbhāh = "from Zobah," which completes the designation of the former name, Nathan of Zobah. The concluding words of the verse, Ben -Hagrı̄ = "the son of Hagri," will then appear as a misreading of Bānı̄ ha -gādhı̄ = "Bani, the Gadite," thus bringing the two records into accord.
