Study note

Setting — The Chronicler records a segment of King David’s military roster, listing specific warriors who joined him at Hebron.

The words — בֶּן (ben) denotes “son,” establishing lineage, while הַ/גִּזוֹנִי (ha.GizoNi) identifies a geographic origin, “the Gizonite.”

The thread — This roster segment parallels the listing of David’s mighty men in 2 Samuel 23:32.

Why it lands — The text names specific individuals to document the composition of David’s armed force, requiring the reader to track the chronicler’s method of preserving military records.
