Meaning: a scab · Male · 3 cross references
Gareb is one of David's mighty men, an Ithrite whose brief listing preserves his place in the circle of elite warriors around the king. His name later echoes in a Jerusalem place reference, extending his remembered presence beyond the war list. First appears in 2 Sam 23:38.1
AI summary: Gareb matters because the cross references present him among the mighty men whose courage undergirds David's reign. Even sparse mentions are significant here, because the list itself is a memorial of those whose loyalty and skill helped secure the kingdom. The later geographic echo suggests his name lingered in memory. Taken together, the material presents Gareb as a remembered warrior in David's elite company.1
