ha'-rod-it (charodhi): Two of David's heroes, Shamma and Elika, are so called (2Sa 23:25). Septuagint omits the second name. In1Ch 11:27, the first is called "Shammoth the Harorite," while the second is omitted. "Harorite" is a clerical error for "Harodite," the Hebrew letter daleth ("d") being taken for the Hebrew letter resh ("r"). Possibly Harodite may be connected with the well ofHAROD(which see).
