the sons of Hashem the Gizonite
The phrase "the sons of Hashem the Gizonite" introduces us to a lineage that is not extensively detailed elsewhere in Scripture, yet it holds significance in the chronicling of David's mighty men. The name "Hashem" in Hebrew can mean "name" or "renown," suggesting a person of notable reputation. The term "Gizonite" likely refers to a geographical origin, possibly a place called Gizoh, though its exact location remains uncertain. This highlights the diverse backgrounds of those who rallied around David, emphasizing that God calls individuals from various walks of life to fulfill His purposes. The inclusion of Hashem's sons in this list underscores the importance of family legacy and the transmission of faith and valor across generations.

Jonathan son of Shagee the Hararite
"Jonathan" is a name meaning "Yahweh has given," reflecting a divine gift or blessing. This Jonathan is distinct from the more famous Jonathan, son of Saul, yet his presence among David's mighty men indicates his valor and dedication. "Shagee" is a name that appears only here, and its meaning is less clear, though it may imply a sense of wandering or seeking. The term "Hararite" suggests a connection to the mountainous regions, possibly indicating a rugged, resilient character shaped by the harsh terrain. This phrase reminds us that God equips and calls individuals from all backgrounds, even those from seemingly obscure or challenging environments, to play vital roles in His divine narrative. The mention of Jonathan and his father Shagee serves as a testament to the faithfulness and courage required to stand with God's anointed leader, David, during tumultuous times.

(34) The sons of Hashem the Gizonite.--Samuel has "the sons of Jashen, Jonathan" (Heb.). Here the Syriac and Arabic have "the sons of Shem of 'Azun, Jonathan son of Shaga of Mount Carmel." The word "sons" (bne) is an accidental repetition of the last three letters of the Hebrew word for Shaalbonite. "Jashen the Gizonite" is probably the right reading.

Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite.--This appears more correct than the text of Samuel, "Shammah the Hararite." "Shammah son of Age the Hararite" was the third hero of the first triad (2Samuel 23:11). Perhaps, therefore, the original reading here was "Jonathan son of Age (or Shammah) the Hararite." The Syriac and Arabic, however, support Shage.

Verse 34. - The sons of Heshem the Gizonite. This sentence is unmanageable as it stands, and is insufficiently assisted from its parallel But if from this latter we take the suggestion of the preposition "from" (Authorized Version) before "the sons" (which, however, is not in the Hebrew), and from the Alexandrian Septuagint, the suggestion of the name Gouni (גּוּנִי), Guni, (1 Chronicles 5:15) in the place of Gizonite (גּוזנִי), we should obtain a coherent reading. But this would be mere conjecture suggested by the Septuagint, and "the Gizonite" offers the difficulty of the presence of the article, which would not subsist with the proper name Guni. Were it not that the word בְּנֵי is found in both passages all difficulty would disappear with its disappearance. The remainder of this verse, in relation to vers. 32 and 33 of the parallel, illustrates opportunely the uncertainties of the text. For, as seen above, Jonathan is the grandson of Shage (Agee, 2 Samuel 23:11), and son of Shammah, while (2 Chronicles 23:32, 33) the parallel reads "Jonathan," with no connective word "son" at all, yet supplies the right name, "Shammah the Hararite" for the father, and omits all mention of Shage.
