<p> ''''' pel´ḗ ''''' - ''''' thı̄ts ''''' , ''''' pē´leth ''''' - ''''' ı̄ts ''''' ( פּלתי , <i> ''''' pelēthı̄ ''''' </i> ): A company of David's bodyguard, like the | <p> So called from Peleth, meaning judges. The [[Pelethites]] and Cherithites (or Cherim, more properly speaking) were much spoken of in the days of David. ( 1 Samuel 30:14 and 2 Samuel 8:18) It should seem to have been an office in the inferior courts for judging the people; hence the Pelethites and Cherithites were judges. The word Cherim means excommunication: and there were three degrees of it observed. The first was a simple separating, called Niddui; the second Cherim, somewhat like what the apostle calls [[Anathema]] Maranatha; and the third implied death, and was called Shammathah. </p> | ||

<p> (See [[Cherethites]] .) The two together formed David's body guard. As [[Ittai]] of Gath, so other refugees from [[Philistine]] tribes probably joined David. The [[Egyptian]] monuments mention '''''Shayretana''''' ("Cherethim" or "Cretans") and '''''Ρelesatu''''' ("Philistines"), whom [[Rameses]] III conquered. The Shayretana supplied mercenaries to the Egyptian kings of the 19th and 20th dynasties. Cherethites may be from '''''Chaarat''''' "to cut off," namely, from one's country; Pelethites from '''''Paalat''''' "he fled," "fugitives," political refugees. "Philistine" is from phalash "to emigrate." [[Gesenius]] less probably explains" executioners and runners." </p> | |||

<p> These formed a part of David's guard. They are always grouped with the Cherethites. It is uncertain from whence they came or what the name signifies. 2 Samuel 8:18; 2 Samuel 15:18; 2 Samuel 20:7,23; 1 Kings 1:38,44; 1 Chronicles 18:17 . Gesenius calls them 'public couriers,' doubtless because <i> peleth </i> means 'swiftness.' The LXX and [[Vulgate]] leave the name untranslated. Some trace the word to the Philistines. </p> | |||

<p> Are always mentioned together with the Cherethites, as constituting the king's bodyguard, 2 Samuel 8:18 22:23 . The word, if not the name of a [[Jewish]] or a Philistine family, is supposed to signify runners; and thus they would seem to have been the royal messengers; just as the Cherethites, from a [[Hebrew]] word signifying to cut off, were the king's executioners. See CHERETHITES. </p> | |||

<p> ''''' pel´ḗ ''''' - ''''' thı̄ts ''''' , ''''' pē´leth ''''' - ''''' ı̄ts ''''' ( פּלתי , <i> ''''' pelēthı̄ ''''' </i> ): A company of David's bodyguard, like the Cherethites (which see) ( 2 Samuel 8:18; 2 Samuel 15:18 ); probably a corrupt form of "Philistines." </p> | |||
