the Garmite (gentilics designation)
This gentilic adjective appears only in 1 Chronicles' genealogies, identifying someone connected to a place or clan called Garm. Like many genealogical notes in Chronicles, it preserves a connection to a location or family group otherwise unknown to us. The definite article ('the Garmite') suggests this was a recognized designation in the chronicler's time, though the reference point itself is now lost.
Senses
1. sense 1 — 1 Chronicles 4:19 mentions 'the Garmite' in Judah's genealogy, marking a family or geographic connection. The term appears nowhere else in Scripture, leaving its reference uncertain. The Hebrew form with the article suggests a known designation—'the one from Garm' or 'the member of the Garm clan.' The multilingual transliterations show recognition that this is a proper adjective, preserved in the genealogical record though its meaning escaped even ancient translators. 1×
