a -has´bı̄ ( אחסבּי , 'aḥaṣbay , "blooming"): The father of Eliphelet, a Maacathite, a soldier in David's army ( 2 Samuel 23:34 ). He was either a native of Abel-beth-maacah ( 2 Samuel 20:14 ) or, more probably, of Maacah in Syria ( 2 Samuel 10:6 ). The list in 1 Chronicles 11:35 , 1 Chronicles 11:36 gives different names entirely. Here we have Ur and Hepher, which simply show that the text is corrupt in one or both places.
