1 Chronicles 11:32 Summary
This verse lists two brave warriors, Hurai and Abiel, who joined David's army.

These men were from different places, but they came together to support David, demonstrating the importance of unity and teamwork (Psalm 133:1).

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 11:32
Ithai the son of Ribai of Gibeah, that pertained to the children of Benjamin, Benaiah the Pirathonite, No JFB commentary on these verses.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 11:32
Of the brooks, or of the valleys, i.e. of one of them; the plural number for the singular; so called because he was born or bred there.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 11:32
(32) Hurai of the brooks of Gaash seems better than “Hiddai” (Samuel), cf. “Hur” (Exodus 17:10). “d” and “r” are often confused in Hebrew writing. Brooks.—Heb., Nahalê (gullies or wadys). Nahalê-Gaash was no doubt a place on or near Mount Gaash (Joshua 24:30) in the highland of Ephraim, but the site is not identified. Abiel the Arbathite.—Samuel, “Abi-’albon.” Perhaps Abi-baal was the original reading, which was corrupted in the text of Samuel, and altered by the chronicler’s authority after the manner of Beeliada—Eliada. Arbathite—of “Beth-arabah” (Joshua 15:62), in the desert of Judah.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 11:32
32. Hurai] In 2 Samuel 23:30, “Hiddai.” The true form of the name is uncertain; neither form occurs elsewhere. Gaash] A mountain in Ephraim; Judges 2:9 (= Joshua 24:30). Abiel] In 2 Samuel 23:31 “Abi-albon.” “Arbathite” means “inhabitant of Beth Arabah”; Joshua 15:6, a town on the border between Judah and Benjamin.
