About Hagri
The father of Mibhar, according to 1 Chronicles 11:38. However, in the similar list found in 2 Samuel 23:36, the text says "Bani, the Gadite" instead of "Mibhar, son of Hagri." Because of textual difficulties in the 1 Chronicles passage, scholars think the reading in 2 Samuel is probably more accurate.
