(Heb. Charuphi', חֲרוּפַי ,with the art.; for which the Masoretic margin more correctly reads חֲרַיפַּי , Hariphite; Sept. Ἀρουφί v.r. Χαριφιήλ , Vulg. Haruphites), an epithet of Shephatiah, one of the brave adventurers who joined David at Ziklag ( 1 Chronicles 12:5); so called, probably, as being a native of HARIPH. "Josabad the Gederathite," of the preceding verse, was probably from the same place; and as he was so called from being a resident of Gedor (q.v.), it would seen that the epithet "Haruphite" was an equivalent one, as a descendant from Hareph (q.v.), the founder of Geder ( 1 Chronicles 2:51).
