<p> <strong> IRA. 1. </strong> The [[Jairite]] who was <em> kôhen </em> or priest to [[David]] ( 2 Samuel 20:26 ). His name is omitted from the original (?) passage in 2 Samuel 8:18 , and from the passage in 1 Chronicles 18:17 . ‘The Jairite’ denotes that he was of the [[Gileadite]] clan of the Jairites. The name probably means ‘the watchful.’ <strong> 2. </strong> The lthrite, one of David’s heroes ( 2 Samuel 23:38 , where perhaps <em> [[Ithrite]] </em> should be <em> Jattirite) </em> . <strong> 3. </strong> The son of [[Ikkesh]] the [[Tekoite]] ( 2 Samuel 23:26 ), another of David’s heroes. </p> <p> W. F. Cobb. </p> | |||

<p> (Heb. Ira', עַירָא, citizen, otherwise watchful; [[Sept]] Ι᾿ράς, Ι᾿ρά, ᾿Ωραί, Εἰρά ), the name of three of David's favorite officers. </p> <p> 1. [[Son]] of Ikkesh, a Tekoite, and one of David's thirty famous warriors (2 Samuel 23:26; 1 Chronicles 11:28). He was afterwards placed in command of the sixth regiment of his troops (1 Chronicles 27:9). B.C. 1046-1014. </p> <p> 2. A Jethrite, another of David's thirty chief heroes (2 Samuel 23:38; 1 Chronicles 11:40). B.C. 1046. </p> <p> 3. A [[Jairite]] and priest (כֹּהֵן, A.V. "chief ruler"), i.e. royal chaplain (2 Samuel 20:26). B.C. cir. 1022. As he was not of the sacerdotal family, the Rabbins hold that he was only one of David's cabinet. See JAIR. </p> | |||
