Harodite

VIEW:36 DATA:01-04-2020

HARODITE.—A designation applied in 2Sa_23:25 to two of David’s heroes, Shammah and Elika. The second is wanting in LXX [Note: Septuagint.] and in the parallel list in 1Ch_11:27. In the latter passage, by a common scribal error ‘the Harodite’ has been transformed into ‘the Harorite.’ ‘The Harodite’ was probably a native of ‘Ain-harod (Jalud), Jdg_7:1. See preceding article.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909

hā?rod-ı̄t (חרדי, ḥărōdhı̄): Two of David's heroes, Shamma and Elika, are so called (2Sa_23:25). Septuagint omits the second name. In 1Ch_11:27, the first is called ?Shammoth the Harorite,? while the second is omitted. ?Harorite? is a clerical error for ?Harodite,? the Hebrew letter daleth ד (?d?) being taken for the Hebrew letter resh ר (?r?). Possibly Harodite may be connected with the well of HAROD (which see).
