Benaiah of Pirathon, of the sons of Ephraim (verse 14): See 1 Chr 11.31. Of Pirathon is literally “the Pirathonite.” Parola Del Signore: La Bibbia in Lingua Corrente says “from the village of Pirathon,” and Nova Tradução na Linguagem de Hoje has “from the city of Pirathon.” Of the sons of Ephraim may be rendered “in the territory of the tribe of Ephraim” (Good News Translation, Nova Tradução na Linguagem de Hoje).
