mib´har (מבחר, mibhhÌ£aÌ„r, “choiceâ€(?)): According to , the name of one of David's heroes. No such name, however, occurs in the parallel passage (). A comparison of the two records makes it probable that mibhhÌ£ar is a corruption of miccoÌ„bhaÌ„h = “from Zobah,†which completes the designation of the former name, Nathan of Zobah. The concluding words of the verse, Ben-Hagrı̄ = “the son of Hagri,†will then appear as a misreading of BaÌ„nı̄ ha-gaÌ„dhı̄ = “Bani, the Gadite,†thus bringing the two records into accord.
