Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
MIBHAR. In 1 Chronicles 11:38 one of David’s heroes appears as ‘Mibhar the son of Hagri.’ The parallel passage 2 Samuel 23:36 reads, ‘of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,’ which is probably the correct text.
Fausset's Bible Dictionary [2]
Son of Haggert ( 1 Chronicles 11:38), probably a corruption for 2 Samuel 23:36, "of Zobah, Bani the Gadite." Septuagint seemingly read, "Igal the brother of Nathan, flower of the host; Bani the Gadite."
Smith's Bible Dictionary [3]
Mib'har. (Choicest). One of David's heroes, in the list given in 1 Chronicles 11:38.
Holman Bible Dictionary [4]
1 Chronicles 11:38 2 Samuel 23:36
Easton's Bible Dictionary [5]
1 Chronicles 11:38 2 Samuel 23:36
Morrish Bible Dictionary [6]
Son of Haggeri and one of David's mighty men. 1 Chronicles 11:38 .
Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature [7]
(Heb. Mibchar', מַבְחָר, Choice, as in Isaiah 22:7, etc.; Sept. Μαβάρ v.r. Μεβαάλ ), a Hagarene ("son of Haggeri"), one of David's famous warriors ( 1 Chronicles 11:38); apparently the same called in the parallel passage ( 2 Samuel 23:36) BANI the Gadite. B.C. 1046. (See David). "It is easy to see, if the latter be the true reading, how בָּנַי הִגָּדַי, Bani hag-gadi, could be corrupted into בֶּןאּהִגְּרַי, Ben-Hag-Geri; And הגדי is actually the reading of three of Kennicott's MSS. in 1 Chronicles, as well as of the Syriac and Arabic versions, and the Targum of R. Joseph. But that ‘ Mibhar' is a corruption of מַצֹּבָה (or מצבא, ace. to some MSS.), mitstsobah, ‘ of Zobah,' as Kennicott (Dissert. p. 215) and Cappellus (Crit. Sacr. i,c. 5) conclude, is not so clear, though not absolutely impossible. It would seem from the Sept. of 2 Samuel, where instead of Zobah we find πολυδυνάμεως, that both readings originally co-existed, and were read by the Sept. מַבְחִר הִצָּבָא, -Mibchar Hats-Tsaba, ‘ choice of the host.' If this were the case, the verse in .1 Chronicles would stand thus: ‘ Igal the brother of Nathan, flower of the host; Bani the Gadite.'"
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [8]
mib´har ( מבחר , mibhḥār , "choice"(?)): According to 1 Chronicles 11:38 , the name of one of David's heroes. No such name, however, occurs in the parallel passage ( 2 Samuel 23:36 ). A comparison of the two records makes it probable that mibhḥar is a corruption of miccōbhāh = "from Zobah," which completes the designation of the former name, Nathan of Zobah. The concluding words of the verse, Ben - Hagrı̄ = "the son of Hagri," will then appear as a misreading of Bānı̄ ha - gādhı̄ = "Bani, the Gadite," thus bringing the two records into accord.
