the Gederathite (gentilicial adjective from Gederah)
Another geographical identifier, this one appearing in 1 Chronicles 12:4 (English 12:5), where it designates one of David's early supporters at Ziklag. The form derives from Gederah rather than Geder, distinguished by an additional syllable. These Ziklag warriors joined David when he was still a fugitive from Saul, representing cross-tribal support that presaged his eventual kingship. The gentilicial precision in Chronicles reflects that work's interest in genealogical and geographical accuracy, preserving clan and regional identities even centuries after the events.
