First Chronicles 11:44 lists 'the Aroerite' among David's mighty warriors. This gentilic designates someone from Aroer, a place name that appears multiple times in Scripture, most commonly referring to a city on the Arnon River in Moab. The term identifies the warrior's hometown or clan origin. Greek manuscripts transliterate variously, showing some uncertainty. The mighty men of David came from diverse regions, and this Aroerite represents one such geographic and perhaps ethnic origin. He is known only by his place of origin, but his inclusion among the elite warriors honors his hometown.
