musical instrument, possibly a triangular or three-stringed instrument used in celebration
This hapax designates a musical instrument whose exact identity remains debated. Scholars suggest it may have been triangular in shape, three-stringed, or three-barred—perhaps a sistrum or triangle. The term appears in 1 Samuel 18:6 describing the joyful procession celebrating David's victory over Goliath, paired with tambourines. The Hebrew root suggests a connection to 'three,' but whether this refers to strings, bars, or shape remains uncertain. What's clear is that it produced sound for festive occasions.

1. sense 1 — A musical instrument of uncertain construction, likely percussive or stringed, used in victory celebrations. When David returned from slaying Goliath, women met him with singing, dancing, tambourines, and these instruments (1 Samuel 18:6). The Spanish and French translations ('instrumentos,' 'triangles') reflect the scholarly debate about its form, while the consistent pairing with drums suggests it added rhythmic or melodic color to Israel's most joyous public celebrations. 1×
