Eznite

The King James Version name for the greatest leader of the mighty men of King David (2 Samuel 23:8). Most scholars consider "Adino the Eznite" the result of a textual corruption or scribal error in the Hebrew text. Most scholars prefer the reading "Jashobeam the Hacmonite." The Berean Standard Bible uses "Josheb-basshebeth the Tahchemonite" (which is another form of "Jashobeam the Hacmonite").
