Hezrai the Carmelite,…. Of Mount Carmel; or from Carmela, as the Targum, see 1Sa 25:2; he is called Hezro, 1Ch 11:37;
Paarai the Arbite; or from Arab, as the Targum, a city in the tribe of Judah, Jos 15:52; according to Hillerus r, the same with “Naarai the son of Ezbai”, in 1Ch 11:37.

(35) Hezrai.So the Hebrew margin; but the text has Hezro, as in Chronicles. He was of Carmel, seven miles S.S.E. of Hebron, famous in Davids early history.
Paarai the Arbite.In Chronicles Naarai the son of Ezbai. It is impossible to decide whether Paarai or Naarai is the correct form, but the son of Ezbai is evidently a scribes error for the Arbite, which it must resemble in the original.
