2 Samuel 23:27

Abiezer the Anethothite Of Anathoth in Benjamin. The modern village of Anâta, three miles N.N.E. of Jerusalem, preserves the name and marks the site. It was a priests city (Joshua 21:18); the home of Abiathar (1 Kings 2:26); and the birth-place of the prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah 1:1). Antothite(1 Chronicles 11:28), and Anetothite(1 Chronicles 27:12), are merely different transliterations of the same Heb. word. In the latter passage Abiezer is named as the general of the ninth division of the army.

Mebunnai the Hushathite Mebunnai(מבני) is doubtless a textual error for Sibbechai(מבכי), the consonants being very similar and easily confused in the original text, which had no vowels. Sibbechai won renown by slaying the giant Saph (ch. 2 Samuel 21:18), and commanded the eighth division of the army (1 Chronicles 27:11). His native place Hushahmust have been in Judah, as it is mentioned among the places occupied by the descendants of Judah (1 Chronicles 4:4), but nothing further is known about it. He belonged to the important clan of the Zarhites, descended from Zerah the son of Judah (1 Chronicles 2:4).
