Hariph . A family which returned with Zerubbabel (  Nehemiah 7:24 ) and signed the covenant (  Nehemiah 10:19 ) =   Ezra 2:18 Jorah , 1Es 5:16 Arsiphurith  ; one of David’s companions in   1 Chronicles 12:5 is termed a Haruphite ( Kethibh ), or Hariphite ( Qerç ). The latter reading, if correct, perhaps points to a connexion with Hariph.
