<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> ''''' ı̄´ra ''''' ( עירא , <i> ''''' ‛ı̄rā ''''' </i> ); Εἲρας , <i> ''''' Eı́ras ''''' </i> ): </p> <p> (1) A person referred to in 2 Samuel 20:26 as "priest" (so the Revised Version (British and American) correctly; the King James Version "a chief ruler," the American Standard Revised Version "chief minister") unto David. The translation of the Revised Version (British and American) is the only possible one; but, according to the text, [[Ira]] was "a Jairite," and thus of the tribe of [[Manasseh]] ( Numbers 32:41 ) and not eligible to the priesthood. On the basis of the Peshitta some would correct "Jairite" of 2 Samuel 20:26 into "Jattirite," referring to Jattir, a priestly city within the territory of Judah ( Joshua 21:14 ). Others point to 2 Samuel 8:18 margin, "David's sons were priests," as an indication that in David's time some non-Levites were permitted to serve - in some sense - as priests. </p> <p> (2) An "Ithrite," or (with a different pointing of the text) a "Jattirite," one of David's "thirty" ( 2 Samuel 23:38 parallel 1 Chronicles 11:40 ); possibly identical with (1). </p> <p> (3) Another of David's "thirty," son of Ikkesh of [[Tekoa]] ( 2 Samuel 23:26; 1 Chronicles 11:28 ) and a captain of the temple guard ( 1 Chronicles 27:9 ). </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> | |||
