1. sense 1 — Personal name of a man from the tribe of Benjamin, known as the father of Ittai, who was numbered among David's elite warriors (2 Sam 23:29; 1 Chr 11:31). The parallel texts show minor orthographic variation (Ribai/Rivai), while the Septuagint offers multiple transliterations (Ρειβα, Εριβα, Ρεβιε). The lexical note connecting it to יְרִיבַי suggests a possible etymological link to the root רִיב ('to contend'), though the name's precise meaning remains uncertain. 2×
