Commentary on 2 Samuel 23:37

Theological / Devotional

Zelek the Ammonite. David had a number of foreigners of distinction in his service, among them “Igal the son of Nathan of Zobah,” a Syrian (v. 36; cf. ch. 8:3, 5, 12); “Ittai the Gittite” (ch. 15:18, 19) from the Philistine city of Gath; and “Uriah the Hittite” (v. 39). Possibly all of them accepted the Hebrew religion.

NaharL Or “Naharai” (1 Chron. 11:39). He was probably the chief of Joab’s ten armor-bearers (2 Sam. 18:15), or perhaps Joab’s sole armor-bearer earlier.
