Quick answer
The list adds Eliel the Mahavite, Jeribai and Joshaviah sons of Elnaam, and Ithmah the Moabite. Another foreigner serves among David's men.
Overview
The roll includes Ithmah the Moabite, a second named Gentile among David's heroes. As with Zelek the Ammonite, this signals that God's kingdom welcomes those once outside Israel. Such inclusion anticipates the gospel's reach to all nations through the Son of David, in whom there is no longer Jew nor Greek.
