Sibbecai; a captain and mighty man of David from the Hushathites
Sibbecai was one of David's elite warriors, a Hushathite who distinguished himself in battle against the Philistines. He killed Saph (or Sippai), one of the descendants of the giants (2 Samuel 21:18, 1 Chronicles 20:4). He also appears in the lists of David's mighty men (1 Chronicles 11:29) and as a divisional commander in David's monthly militia system (1 Chronicles 27:11). Some manuscripts suggest his name in 2 Samuel 23:27 should read Sibbecai instead of Mebunnai.

Senses
1. sense 1 — A personal name designating one of David's mighty warriors and military commanders. Sibbecai the Hushathite appears in battle narratives (2 Samuel 21:18, 1 Chronicles 20:4), the roster of the Thirty (1 Chronicles 11:29), and as leader of the eighth monthly division (1 Chronicles 27:11). Transliterations are consistent: Sibbecai/Sibecai/Sibejay, with some bracketing [סבכי]. The Greek versions render as Σοβοχαι and similar forms. The name's multiple attestations across Samuel, Chronicles, and genealogical lists confirm this figure's historical and military importance. 4×
