The Ithrite, a gentililic designation for members of a Kiriath-jearim clan in Judah
Ha-Yithri ('the Ithrite') is a gentililic adjective always appearing with the definite article, designating members of a clan connected to Kiriath-jearim in Judah (1 Chr 2:53). Two of David's mighty warriors, Ira and Gareb, are identified as Ithrites in the parallel hero lists of 2 Samuel 23:38 and 1 Chronicles 11:40. The Septuagint renders the name variously (Αιθειραιος, Ηθηρει), reflecting the typical fluidity of proper names in Greek transmission.
