This verse, 1 Chronicles 11:34, talks about two specific individuals, the sons of Hashem the Gizonite and Jonathan son of Shagee the Hararite, who were part of David's mighty men.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 1 Chronicles 11:34
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 11:34
Hashem, or Jashem, to wit, Jonathan here following, and Shammah here omitted, but expressed ,33.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 11:34
(34) The sons of Hashem the Gizonite.—Samuel has “the sons of Jashen, Jonathan” (Heb.). Here the Syriac and Arabic have “the sons of Shëm of ‘Azun, Jonathan son of Shaga of Mount Carmel.” The word “sons” (bnê) is an accidental repetition of the last three letters of the Hebrew word for Shaalbonite. “Jashen the Gizonite” is probably the right reading. Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite.—This appears more correct than the text of Samuel, “Shammah the Hararite.” “Shammah son of Age the Hararite” was the third hero of the first triad (2 Samuel 23:11). Perhaps, therefore, the original reading here was “Jonathan son of Age (or Shammah) the Hararite.” The Syriac and Arabic, however, support Shage.
Cambridge Bible on 1 Chronicles 11:34
34. the sons of Hashem the Gizonite] The corresponding clause in 2 Samuel 23:32 is simply “the sons of Jashen.” The text is corrupt in both places. LXX. (Chron.) for the sons of has the proper name “Benaiah.” Read perhaps “Jashen the Gunite” (cp. Numbers 26:48) omitting the sons of (Heb. bĕ ?nç) as arising from a mistaken repetition of the last three letters of Shaalbonite (Heb. form). Jonathan the son of Shage] Cp. 2 Samuel 23:32-33, where the right reading seems to be “Jonathan the son of Shammah.” Nothing is known of the meaning of “Hararite,” nor is the reading certain.
Barnes' Notes on 1 Chronicles 11:34
The sons of Hashem - It is impossible that this can be the true reading, since an individual warrior must be spoken of.
