Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of 2 Samuel 23:27
Abiezer the Anethothite, Mebunnai the Hushathite,
27. Abiezer the Anethothite ] Of Anathoth in Benjamin. The modern village of Anta, three miles N.N.E. of Jerusalem, preserves the name and marks the site. It was a priests city (Jos 21:18); the home of Abiathar (1Ki 2:26); and the birth-place of the prophet Jeremiah (Jer 1:1). Antothite (1Ch 11:28), and Anetothite (1Ch 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 ( ) is doubtless a textual error for Sibbechai ( ), 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. 2Sa 21:18), and commanded the eighth division of the army (1Ch 27:11). His native place Hushah must have been in Judah, as it is mentioned among the places occupied by the descendants of Judah (1Ch 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 (1Ch 2:4).

Mebunnai the Hushathite; the same with Sibbecai, 1Ch 11:29; this man had two names, and was a descendant of Hushah, who came of Judah, 1Ch 4:4.

(27) Abiezer.He was general for the ninth month (1Ch. 27:12). He was of Anathoth, a priestly city of Benjamin, the home of Jeremiah.
Mebunnai.According to 2Sa. 21:18 Sibbechai, and to 1Ch. 11:29 Sibbecai, these being the same in the Hebrew. The two names are much alike in the original and might be easily confused. He slew the giant Saph (2Sa. 21:18), and was the general for the eighth month (1Ch. 27:11).
