Adnah refers to two distinct men in Chronicles who share this name. The first was a chief of the tribe of Manasseh who defected to David's side just before the battle of Gilboa, one of several Manassite commanders who joined him at Ziklag (1 Chronicles 12:20). The second, evidently unrelated, was the senior commander in King Jehoshaphat's army, leading a force of 300,000 men, the largest single division named in Jehoshaphat's military reorganization (2 Chronicles 17:14).
