(Heb. Lachmi', ìִçְîַé , my bread; Septuag. Ëååìåß v. r. Ëïïìß , Ëá÷ìß , etc.; Vulg. Bethlehemites), a person named (1Ch_20:5) as being the brother of (Goliath, and slain by Elhanan, one of David's heroes; but prob. a corrupt reading for BETH-LEHEMITE, as in the parallel passage (2Sa_21:19). SEE ELHANAN. It wouldi seem that both these passages should be restored so as to read thus: " Elhanan, the son of Jair (or Dodo) of Bethlehem, slew the brother of Goliath of CGath, whose spear-handle was like a weaver's beam." SEE JAIR.
