1 Chronicles 11:46

Study note

Setting — The Chronicler continues a catalog of David’s military commanders, listing additional warriors alongside those named in the preceding and following verses.

The words — The text uses הַמַּחֲוִי (ha.ma.cha.Vi) to identify Eliel as a Mahavite and הַמּוֹאָבִי (ha.mo.'a.Vi) to label Ithmah as a Moabite. These territorial markers denote the geographic or ethnic origin of the listed commanders.

The thread — This entry belongs to the Chronicler’s systematic roster of David’s armed forces, which consistently records commanders and their regional affiliations. The list appears in 1 Chronicles 11 alongside the broader military inventory that documents the king’s elite warriors.

Why it lands — The verse requires the reader to observe the precise documentation of David’s military personnel and their stated origins. It presents a straightforward administrative record without commentary on the individuals’ roles or loyalty.
