IRA

(Heb. ʿîrāʾ)

1. A Manassite of the lineage of Jair (or from Jattir), called a priest (Heb. kōhēn) of David (2 Sam. 20:26). The Hebrew term may designate here a special role of confidence in David’s court, apparently as private priest to the king (cf. 2 Sam. 8:18; cf. 1 Chr. 18:17, “chief official”).

2. The son of Ikkesh from Tekoa; one of David’s Champions (2 Sam. 23:26; 1 Chr. 11:28) and captain of the division guarding the temple in the sixth month (27:9).

3. An Ithrite who was one of David’s Champions (2 Sam. 23:38; 1 Chr. 11:40). On the basis of some ancient versions, which call him a Jattirite, he is sometimes identified with 1.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
