(shb' beh cawee) Personal name of uncertain meaning. Member of David's army who killed a giant or, more literally, a descendant of the Rephaim (2 Samuel 21:18 REB). 1 Chronicles 11:29 lists him among David's military heroes, leading many commentators to see Sibbecai as the original reading for Mebunnai in 2 Samuel 23:27 resulting from a confusion of Hebrew letters by early scribes. Sibbecai commanded David's forces for the eighth month ( 1 Chronicles 27:11 ).
