Old Testament

Adino the Eznite is mentioned in some translations of 2Sa.23.8 as one of David's mighty men, but the Hebrew text is unclear, and it may be a description of Josheb-Basshebeth's actions rather than a separate person.

Adino the Eznite is a figure of uncertain identity in 2 Samuel 23:8, where some textual traditions interpret the phrase 'he lifted his spear' (Hebrew: 'Adino ha-Etznite') as a separate name for the chief of David's three mighty men, Josheb-basshebeth. The parallel text in 1 Chronicles 11:11 reads differently, making it likely that 'Adino' is either a corrupt form of the name or a description of his weapon. Textual critics generally treat this as a scribal variant rather than a distinct individual, and most modern translations do not render it as a personal name.
