Gill's Exposition on 1 Chronicles 11:30
[See comments on 1 Chronicles 11:1]
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 11:30
Maharai the Netophathite, Heled the son of Baanah the Netophathite, Maharai - chief of the detachment of the guards who attended on the king in the tenth mouth, January (1 Chronicles 27:13; 2 Samuel 23:28).
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 11:30
(30) Maharai the Netophathite, of Netophah, a Levitical canton (1 Chronicles 9:16). By family Maharai was a Zarhite (1 Chronicles 27:13). Heled.—More correct than (Heleb) Samuel. Called Heldai (1 Chronicles 27:15). He was of the clan Othniel.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 11:30
30. Maharai the Netophathite] So in 1 Chronicles 27:13, with “of the Zerahites” (R.V.) added. A Netophathite might come either from Netophah (a village in Judah not far from Beth-lehem), or from the “villages of the Netophathites” (1 Chronicles 9:16, note). Heled] In 1 Chronicles 27:15 “Heldai,” a name found in Zechariah 6:10. “Heleb” in 2 Samuel 23:29 is probably a wrong reading.
