Exegesis
The construct chain ben-yaor yair {בֶּן־יעור יָעִ֗יר | ben-yaʾ-ôr yā-ʿîr} ‘son of Jaor Yair’ ties Elhanan to his lineage, and the genitive achi {אֲחִי | ă-ḥî} ‘brother of’ binds Lahmi to Goliath.
In context — 1 Chronicles 20:5
And again, there was a battle with the Philistines, and Elhanan son of Yair struck Lahmi, the brother of Goliath the Gittite , and the shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam .
