Jaare-Oregim, father of Elhanan mentioned in 2 Samuel 21:19; likely a scribal error
This proper name appears in 2 Samuel 21:19 as the father of Elhanan, one of David's warriors. Most scholars view it as a textual corruption, comparing it with the parallel account in 1 Chronicles 20:5 which reads "Jair." The name may have arisen from scribal anticipation of "Oregim" (weavers) in the following line, leading to a compound form that doesn't appear elsewhere in Scripture.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Appears only in 2 Samuel 21:19 in connection with Elhanan's genealogy. The widespread scholarly consensus, reflected in BDB and textual commentaries, is that this represents a corrupted reading. The multilingual glosses preserve the unusual form (Oregim, Yaare) while recognizing its problematic status through question marks and brackets in some traditions. 2×
