Ira the Jairite served as a priest under King David, listed in 2 Samuel 20:26 as 'David's priest,' a designation that has puzzled scholars since Ira was not of the Levitical line. Some interpreters suggest the title indicates a royal chaplain or personal minister rather than a cultic priest in the strict sense. Ira of Tekoa, son of Ikkesh, also appears among David's mighty warriors and army commanders; these may be two distinct individuals or possibly the same person mentioned in different contexts.
