Uriah the Hittite, Zabad the son of Ahlai,
Uriah the Hittite. The enrollment of this name in such a list, attesting, as it does, his distinguished merits as a brave devoted officer, aggravates the criminality of David's outrage on his life and honour. Zabad the son of Ahlai (1 Chronicles 2:31-36). The number of the names from 1 Chronicles 2:26 to 1 Chronicles 2:41 (exclusive of Asahel and Uriah, who were dead) as thirty, and from 1 Chronicles 2:41-47 is sixteen, making together forty-eight, (see the notes at 1 Chronicles 27:1-34). Of those mentioned, 1 Chronicles 2:26-41, the greater part belonged to the tribes of Judah and Benjamin; the sixteen names, 1 Chronicles 2:41-47, are all associated with places unknown, or with cities and districts on the east of the Jordan. The northern tribes do not appear to have furnished any leaders (Bertheau).
