Hezro: one of David's mighty warriors
One of David's elite warriors, identified as 'the Carmelite' (from Carmel in Judah, not Mount Carmel). The name appears in the lists of David's mighty men with textual variations between Samuel and Chronicles. The ketiv/qere variations (Hetsro/Hetsrai) reflect scribal uncertainties in transmission, a common phenomenon in the warrior lists of 2 Samuel 23 and 1 Chronicles 11. These mighty men formed David's core military leadership, demonstrating exceptional courage and loyalty.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Hezro the Carmelite, one of David's elite warriors. 2 Samuel 23:35 lists him among the Thirty, with a ketiv/qere variation (Hetsro/Hetsrai). 1 Chronicles 11:37 provides the parallel reference with slightly different spelling. The Carmelite designation locates his origin in Carmel of Judah. Cross-linguistic transliterations vary slightly (Spanish Jetsro/Jetsray, French/English Hezro), reflecting the textual uncertainties in the Hebrew manuscripts themselves. 3×
