Shitrai/Shirtai; official over David's herds, name with variant spellings
This personal name appears in 1 Chronicles 27:29, identifying one of David's officials responsible for the royal herds in Sharon. The text shows variant spellings: the ketiv (written text) has Shitrai, while the qere (reading tradition) offers Shirtai, a simple transposition of letters. Ancient versions also varied in their transliterations. Such variants are common in proper names where pronunciation and spelling conventions differed between scribal traditions. The name's etymology is uncertain. His significance lies in his administrative role in David's extensive agricultural operations. The dual listing in modern texts reflects scholarly honesty about textual variants.

1. sense 1 — An official in David's administration responsible for herds in Sharon (1 Chronicles 27:29), with the name appearing twice due to ketiv/qere variation (Shitrai/Shirtai). The variants represent minor spelling differences preserved in manuscript traditions. Multilingual sources show both forms, acknowledging textual plurality. The repetition in verse 29 reflects the dual readings, not two separate people. His role managing royal livestock shows David's organized administrative structure, though we know nothing else about this official beyond his assignment. 2×
