Shammah the Hararite,.... From the mountainous country, as the Targum; the Arabic and Syriac versions say, from the mount of Olives:
Ahiam the son of Sharar the Hararite: from the high mountain, as the Targum; in Ch1 11:35, he is called the son of Sacar.

33. Shammah the Hararite] Shammah has already been mentioned in 2Sa_23:11 as one of the first Three, so that his name is evidently out of place among the Thirty. A comparison of the text of 1Ch_11:34 makes it tolerably certain that we should read either Jonathan the son of Agee the Hararite, or Jonathan the son of Shammah the Hararite, making Jonathan either brother or son of the hero mentioned in 2Sa_23:11.
Sharar] In Chron. Sacar, a name found also in 1Ch_26:4.

(33) Shammah the Hararite.—“Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite” has already been mentioned in 2Sa_23:11, and here Chronicles reads “Jonathan the son of Shage the Hararite.” As Shage is identical with Agee with a letter prefixed, we should probably read “Jonathan the son of Shammah the Hararite.” Jonathan, one of “the thirty,” was thus the son of one of “the first three.”
Sharar is in Chronicles Sacar, and Hararite is spelt in the Hebrew here differently from the previous clause and from Chronicles.

Shammah the Hararite. He was really one of the first three (see ver. 11). (For the reading in Chronicles, see above.) A very probable correction would be "Jonathan the son of Shammah, the son of Agee the Hararite." Thus both father and son would be in the number of the thirty, Ahiam. He is called "the son of Sacar" in 1Ch_11:35.
