Johanan the eighth
The name "Johanan" is derived from the Hebrew "Yohanan," meaning "Yahweh is gracious." This name reflects a deep-seated belief in the grace and favor of God, a theme that runs throughout the Old Testament. Johanan, being the eighth, signifies a position within a structured order, possibly indicating a role of significance or leadership among the warriors. The number eight in biblical numerology often symbolizes new beginnings or a new order, suggesting that Johanan may have been part of a fresh wave of support for David, aligning with God's gracious plans for Israel.

Elzabad the ninth
"Elzabad" comes from the Hebrew "Elzabad," meaning "God has given." This name underscores the belief in divine providence and the gifts bestowed by God upon His people. Elzabad, being the ninth, follows Johanan, and the number nine can symbolize completeness or finality in biblical terms. This may imply that Elzabad's inclusion in the list of warriors represents the fulfillment of God's provision for David's reign. The historical context of these warriors joining David at Hebron highlights the divine orchestration in establishing David's kingdom, as each warrior, including Elzabad, was seen as a gift from God to support His anointed king.
