Naarai
1:
NAARAI (PERSON) [Heb na˓ăray (נַעֲרַי)]. The son of Ezbai and one of David’s mighty men (1 Chr 11:37). In the parallel passage at 2 Sam 23:35 he is called Paarai the Arbite, and it is not possible to decide definitely which is the more original reading. For a discussion of the variants, see EZBAI.
