2 Samuel 23:33 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Shammah the Hararite. — “Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite” has already been mentioned in 2 Samuel 23:11, and here Chronicles reads “Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite.” As Shage is identical with Agee with a letter prefixed, we should probably read “Jonathan the son of Shammah the Hararite.” Jonathan, one of “the thirty,” was thus the son of one of “the first three.”

Sharar is in Chronicles Sacar, and Hararite is spelt in the Hebrew here differently from the previous clause and from Chronicles.
