James Hastings Dictionary of the Bible: Adino


Subjects in this Topic:

ADINO.—The present Heb. text of 2Sa_23:8 is corrupt, the true reading being preserved in the parallel passage 1Ch_11:11 ‘Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, he lifted up his spear.’ The last clause, hû ‘ôrçr eth-hanîthô, was corrupted into hû ‘adînô ha‘etsnî, and then taken erroneously as a proper name, being treated as an alternative to the preceding ‘Josheb-basshebeth, a Tahche-monite’ (see Jashobeam).
