Hararite
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible [1]
Hararite . An epithet of doubtful meaning (possibly ‘mountain-dweller,’ but more probably ‘native of [an unknown] Harar’) applied to two of David’s heroes. 1. Shammah the son of Agee ( 2 Samuel 23:11; 2Sa 23:33 , 1 Chronicles 11:34 [where Shagee should probably be Shammah ]). 2. Ahiam the son of Sharar ( 2 Samuel 23:33 [RV [Note: Revised Version.] Ararite ], 1 Chronicles 11:35 ).
Fausset's Bible Dictionary [2]
("mountaineer".) 2 Samuel 23:11; 2 Samuel 23:33; compare 1 Chronicles 11:34-35. Kennicott would read in both Sam. and Chronicles "Jonathan, son of Shammah (David's brother Shimei) the Hararite."
Morrish Bible Dictionary [3]
Designation of Agee, Shammah, Shage, and Sharar or Sacar. 2 Samuel 23:11,33; 1 Chronicles 11:34,35 . The term has been thought to signify 'mountaineer.'
Holman Bible Dictionary [4]
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [5]
hā´ra - rı̄t ( ההררי , ha - hărārı̄ , or האררי , hā - 'ărārı̄ ): Literally, "mountaineer," more particularly an inhabitant of the hill country of Judah. Thus used of two heroes:
(1) Shammah, the son of Agee ( 2 Samuel 23:11 , 2 Samuel 23:33 ). The parallel passage, 1 Chronicles 11:34 , has "Shage" in place of "Shammah."
(2) Ahiam, the son of Sharar the Ararite" ( 2 Samuel 23:33 ). In 1 Chronicles 11:35 , "Sacar" for Sharar as here.
