Harodite; person from Harod
This gentilicadjective identifies someone from Harod, the spring where Gideon's army was tested (Judges 7:1). It appears in 2 Samuel 23:25, identifying two of David's mighty men as Harodites. The parallel text in 1 Chronicles 11:27 has 'Harorite' (הֲרוֹרִי), likely a textual variant. The term connects David's elite warriors to this significant site in Israelite history.
Senses
1. sense 1 — 2 Samuel 23:25 lists 'the Harodite' (הַחֲרֹדִי) twice, apparently referring to two different warriors from Harod. 1 Chronicles 11:27 reads 'Harorite' instead, suggesting textual confusion. BDB notes the LXX omits the second reference, questioning its originality. Spanish 'el jarodita' and French 'le Harodite' maintain the gentilicform. 2×
