DATA BUG? Source of information

I may be missing something but: * We know Zabad was a warrior. Where do we learn that Ahlai was also a warrior? * Where is the second reference to Ahlai in 1 Chr 11:41?

I may be missing something but:

We know Zabad was a warrior. Where do we learn that Ahlai was also a warrior?
Where is the second reference to Ahlai in 1 Chr 11:41?

We're using "(warrior)" to distinguish him from https://ref.ly/logos4/Factbook?ref=bk.%23Ahlai.1. He's in the list of "mighty men" that starts in 1 Chr 11:23. Warrior seems like a fair inference given his presence in that list.
It looks like 11:41 is listed twice in the Referred To As section of Factbook. As far as I can tell, it should only be listed once. I'll report this as a possible bug.

Okay, we differ in how we read the text. I would say that "Zadia son of Ahlai" is in the list of "mighty men" - this means Zadia is a mighty man but says nothing about Ahlai. So I'd say that Ahlai (warrior) is poor logic - Ahlai (father of Zabad) reflects more accurately what the Bible tells us about him. I hope this is not a pervasive error. See 1 Chr 11:43 "Hanan son of Maacah" for a parallel that does not have the logic error.

We do differ: you read more closely than I did! Thanks for explaining your reasoning: i see your point now, and I think you're right. Thanks for persevering to help me understand.
