He is also found in Nehemiah 10:17 as one who signed Nehemiah's covenant.

Adina

Adino Adino (Hebrew עֲדִינוֹ) was an Eznite and one of David's mighty men found in 2 Samuel 23:8.. He is identified with Jashobeam and the name does not occur in other translations in the Bible. Ginsburg offers a corrected form taken substantially from the parallel passage in 1 Chronicles 11:11: "Jashobeam a son of a Hachmonite, chief of the captains; he lifted up his spear." This is plausible, and is very generally accepted, and eliminates the names Adino and Eznite, which do not occur elsewhere in the Bible. Some of the facts are against this. The Septuagint has the names Adino and Eznite. The Latin finds no proper names in the passage, but so translates the words as to presuppose the Hebrew text as we have it. It may be a case for suspended judgment.

Based on interpretations of 1 Chronicles 11:34 and 2 Samuel 23:32–33 Agee was either the grandfather of Jonathan or his brother.
