1 Chronicles 11:40

Study note

Setting — The Chronicler continues a military roster of David’s elite warriors, listing additional commanders immediately after Zelek and Naharai.

The words — עִירָא ('i.Ra) records the personal name Ira, and יִתְרִי (yit.Ri) designates his regional affiliation as the Ithrite.

The thread — The text in 2 Samuel 20:26 separately lists Ira the Jairite as David’s priest.

Why it lands — The verse functions as a historical record, requiring the reader to note the precise preservation of individual names and geographical markers within the royal administration.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
