Exegesis
The verse presents a concise asyndetic list beginning with elyahba {אֶלְיַחְבָּא֙ | ʾel-yaḥ-bā} ‘Elyahba’, a proper noun in apposition; followed by the gentilic adjective ha-sha‘alboni {הַשַּׁ֣עַלְבֹנִ֔י | ha-ša‘al-bō-nî} ‘Shaalbonite’ with the definite article marking origin; then the construct chain benei yashen {בְּנֵ֥י יָשֵׁ֖ן | bᵉ-nē yā-šen} ‘sons of Yashen’ indicating clan descent; and concluding with the proper noun yehonatan {יְהוֹנָתָֽן׃ | yᵉ-hō-nā-tān} ‘Jonathan’. The omission of conjunctions until the final element reflects Hebrew list syntax, and the article on ha-sha‘alboni situates the gentilic specifically. English apposition preserves this sequence, rendering clan association and personal names distinctly.
