Mebunnai
Mebunnai [1]
mḗ - bun´ı̄ , mḗ - bun´ā́ - ı̄ ( מבנּי , mebhunnay , "well-built"): One of David's "braves" ( 2 Samuel 23:27 ). In 2 Samuel 21:18 he is named "Sibbechai" (the Revised Version (British and American) "Sibbecai"), and is there mentioned as the slayer of a Philistine giant. The Revised Version (British and American) spelling occurs in 1 Chronicles 11:29 , the King James Version "Sibbechai" in 1 Chronicles 20:4 (compare 2 Samuel 21:18 ); and in 1 Chronicles 27:11 the Revised Version (British and American) spelling recurs, where this person is mentioned as captain of the 8th course of the 12 monthly courses that served the king in rota . Scribal error, and the similarity in Hebrew spelling of the two forms accounts for the difference in spelling. the Revised Version (British and American) consistently tries to keep this right.
