Hararite; a gentilicname designating certain of David's mighty warriors
A gentilic adjective meaning 'the Hararite,' possibly denoting a mountain-dweller or someone from an unknown locality. It appears exclusively in the lists of David's elite warriors. Shammah son of Agee the Hararite (2 Sam 23:11, 33) and Ahiam son of Sharar the Hararite (2 Sam 23:33; 1 Chr 11:35) are the two heroes so identified. The Septuagint renders it variously, suggesting the origin of the name was already obscure in antiquity.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A gentilic designation identifying certain warriors in David's company of mighty men. Applied to Shammah (2 Sam 23:11, 33; 1 Chr 11:34) and Ahiam (2 Sam 23:33; 1 Chr 11:35). The etymology may derive from har ('mountain'), suggesting a highland origin. French and German translations sometimes transliterate ('le Hararite,' 'der Hararite'), while Spanish offers both 'el hararita' and 'el ararita,' reflecting ongoing uncertainty about the precise geographic referent. 5×
