Ha'garites, The. (named after Hagar). A people dwelling to the east of Palestine, with whom the tribes of Reuben made war in the time of Saul. 1 Chronicles 5:10; 1 Chronicles 5:18-20. The same people, as confederate against Israel, are mentioned in Psalms 83:6. It is generally believed that they were named after Hagar, and that the important town and district of Hejer, on the borders of the Persian Gulf, represent them.
