Mebunnai, personal name of one of David's heroes
A personal name appearing in 2 Samuel 23:27, identifying one of David's thirty mighty men. Scholars note this is likely a textual corruption, and the parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 11:29 reads Sibbecai instead. This kind of textual variation between Samuel and Chronicles is not uncommon due to scribal transmission. The name appears in the roster of David's elite warriors who accomplished extraordinary military feats.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Mebunnai, proper name of one of David's mighty men. 2 Samuel 23:27 lists him among the thirty heroes, though the parallel in 1 Chronicles 11:29 reads Sibbecai, which most scholars prefer. BDB suggests this is a scribal error. The multilingual evidence shows transliteration (Mevunay, Mebunnai), treating it as a proper name. Despite the textual question, he belongs to David's elite warrior class. 1×
