Maharai (personal name: possibly 'hasty' or 'impetuous')
A personal name belonging to one of David's mighty warriors. Maharai the Netophathite served as one of the elite fighters in David's army and later as a commander of 24,000 men during the tenth month of the year. He appears in both the list of David's heroes (2 Samuel 23:28, 1 Chronicles 11:30) and in the administrative divisions under David's reign (1 Chronicles 27:13). The name possibly derives from a root meaning 'to hasten.'
