About Hushathites
A son of Ezer (1 Chronicles 4:4) or possibly a town that Ezer founded. The Bible describes the warriors Sibbecai and Mebunnai as Hushathites (2 Samuel 21:18; 1 Chronicles 11:29; 20:4; 27:11; 2 Samuel 23:27). It is not clear if this title refers to their family ancestry, where they came from, or perhaps both.
