Subjects in this Topic:

ā´gē (אגא, 'āghē), “fugitive”): A Hararite, father of Shammah, one of David's “Three mighty men” (). In we read of one “Jonathan the son of Shagee the Hararite.” The parallel in , reads “Jonathan, Shammah the Hararite.” If we read “Jonathan (son of) Shammah,” then Agee is the grandfather of Jonathan. Some, however, think to be correct, and read “Shagee” for “Agee” in , and for “Shammah” in . This makes Jonathan and Shammah brothers.
