Harodite - In Ch1 11:27, Shammoth the Harorite. Concerning which, and other changes of the names, which will be observed, by comparing this catalogue with that, it will be sufficient to suggest, that the same names of persons, or places, are differently pronounced according to the different dialects of divers places or ages. That one man had often two names. That David had more worthies than those here mentioned; and as some of these were slain in the former part of David's reign, as Asahel was; so others came up in their stead; and some were added to this number, as appears from 1Ch. 11:10-47, where they are named, but not numbered, as they were here; and where there is a greater number than is here expressed. Next: 3 Kings (1 Kings) Chapter 1
