Usage: The name Nacharai appears in the context of a list of David's mighty warriors. It is used as a proper noun to identify an individual associated with King David.

Context: Nacharai, also spelled Nachrai, is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the valiant warriors who served under King David.

His role as the armor-bearer to Joab, David's military commander, suggests a position of trust and responsibility, highlighting his importance within the military hierarchy of David's reign.
