Tachkemonite, gentilic adjective: ethnic or clan designation for one of David's mighty men (2 Samuel 23:8)
This rare gentilic term identifies one of David's elite warriors in 2 Samuel 23:8. Textual scholars suggest reading it as 'the Hakmonite,' connecting it to a family name mentioned in 1 Chronicles 11:11. The ancient versions transliterate rather than translate it, indicating they too found it obscure. It represents the kind of clan or regional designations common in lists of David's fighting men, where geographical and family identities often merged.
