Exegesis
The proper names ʿaner {עָנֵר | ʿā-nēr}, ʾeškol {אֶשְׁכֹּל | ʾeš-kōl}, and mamre {מַמְרֵא | mam-rēʾ} are placed in apposition to “the men,” identifying these allies explicitly and giving the verse a legal-list flavor.
In context — Genesis 14:24
As for me, only what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me—Aner, Eshkol, and Mamre—let them take their portion.
