ITHRITE, THE . A gentilic adjective applied to the descendants of a family of Kiriath-jearim ( 1 Chronicles 2:53 ), amongst whom were two of David’s guard ( 2 Samuel 23:38 , 1 Chronicles 11:40 Ira and Gareb). Possibly, however, the text of 2 Samuel 23:1-39 and 1 Chronicles 11:1-47 should be pointed ‘the Jattirite ,’ i.e. an inhabitant of Jattir (mentioned in 1 Samuel 30:27 as one of David’s haunts) in the hill-country of Judah ( Joshua 15:48; Joshua 21:14 ). See Jattir.
