Eznite

VIEW:35 DATA:01-04-2020
EZNITE.—See Adino.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


Designation of Adino, one of David's chief captains (2Sa_23:8). But in 1Ch_11:11 "Jashobeam an Hachmonite," for which 2 Samuel has Josheb-bas-shebeth, "that sat in the seat." (See JASHOBEAM.) Doubtless the words "the same (was) Adino the Eznite" are a corruption for the Hebrew "he lifted up his spear," which words appear in the parallel 1 Chronicles but not in 2 Samuel; compare verse 18. (2Sa_23:18.)

ez-?nı̄t (עצני, ‛ecnı̄ or עצנו, ‛ecnō). See ADINO.

Eznite
(Hebrews in marg. Etsni', עֶצְנַי, but in the text ׃עֶצְנוֹi.e., Etsno') is given in 2Sa_23:8, in the Auth.Vers., as an epithet of Adino, praefect of David's body-guard; and if considered as a gentile adj., must mean an inhabitant of Ezen, a place otherwise unknown. But of the words rendered "Adino the Eznite" (עֲדינוֹ הָעֶצְנוֹ, Sept. Α᾿δινὼν οΑ῾᾿σωναῖος; Vulg. quasi tenerrimus ligni vermiculus, as if understanding the latter term to be a form of עֵצwood), Gesenius (Hebrews Lex.) regards the former as a peculiar alliteration for יְעִדּנוֹ, in the sense of "he brandished," from the root עָדַיןto be plant; and the latter as a rare word, עֵצֶן, a spear (for which sense he finds analogy in the Arabic); and thus the whole phrase will be equivalent to that in the parallel passage (1Ch_11:11), which otherwise we must here interpolate (with our translators) in order to make sense. That these words do not contain the name of a person is clear from the fact that Jashobeam is given in the parallel passage, and is capable of identification SEE JASHOBEAEL, and also from the enumeration, in which the two meritorius grades of three each, with the 30 warriors specially enumerated, require just this one special officer to make up the number of 37 specified in the text as peculiarly distinguished. SEE DAVID. The passage in 2 Samuel is conceded to be less trustworthy than that in 1 Chronicles, even by Davidson, who vainly contends (Sacred Hermeneutics, page 545) for Adino as a proper name. (See at length in Kennicott, Dissertation, 1:71-128; Gesenius, Thes. Hebrews page 994-5.) SEE ADINO.
