Naarai

Naarai son of Ezbai was numbered among the elite warriors known as David's mighty men, listed in the extended catalogue of 1 Chronicles 11:37. He corresponds to the 'Paarai the Arbite' found in the parallel list of 2 Samuel 23:35, the textual variation suggesting different manuscript traditions. These warriors formed the backbone of David's military establishment and were celebrated for their individual acts of heroism during the campaigns that established the kingdom.
