Adino (personal name, possibly textual corruption)
A name appearing in 2 Samuel's list of David's mighty men, though most scholars believe the text is corrupt and should be read differently based on the parallel in 1 Chronicles. The phrase 'Adino the Eznite' likely represents a scribal error for 'he wielded his spear,' as suggested by the Chronicles parallel. If original, the name would derive from the root for 'delicate' or 'voluptuous.'
Senses
1. sense 1 — The problematic 'Adino' in 2 Samuel 23:8, where the text reads 'Adino the Eznite' but parallel passages suggest corruption. BDB and most commentators recommend reading 'he wielded his spear' based on 1 Chronicles 11:11, which clarifies the original sense: the warrior lifted his spear against eight hundred slain at one time. The Greek and other versions show early confusion, supporting the textual emendation. 1×
