Subjects in this Topic:

hā´rod-ı̄t (חרדי, ḥărōdhı̄): Two of David's heroes, Shamma and Elika, are so called (). Septuagint omits the second name. In , the first is called “Shammoth the Harorite,” while the second is omitted. “Harorite” is a clerical error for “Harodite,” the Hebrew letter daleth ד (“d”) being taken for the Hebrew letter resh ר (“r”). Possibly Harodite may be connected with the well of HAROD (which see).
