Context: • Paarai the Arbite: Paarai is listed among the mighty warriors of King David, known as David's Mighty Men. He is specifically referred to as "Paarai the Arbite" in 2 Samuel 23:35. The term "Arbite" likely indicates his origin from a place called Arab, which is thought to be located in the territory of Judah. The mention of Paarai highlights his valor and significance as part of the elite group of warriors who supported David during his reign. In the parallel account found in 1 Chronicles 11:37, the name is rendered as "Naarai the son of Ezbai," suggesting a possible textual variation or alternative name for the same individual.
