HAGRITES

(Heb. hagrîʾîm)

A pastoralist tribe residing in the region E of Gilead. Ps. 83:6(MT 7) enumerates Hagrites among other Transjordanian enemies of Israel from the preexilic era. In the time of King Saul the Hebrew tribes of Reuben, Gad, and half-Manasseh took control of Hagrite territory (1 Chr. 5:18-22). King David seems to have won the loyalty of at least some of them, since he gave oversight of the royal flocks to Jaziz, a Hagrite (1 Chr. 27:30). An ethnographic relationship between the Hagrites and the woman Hagar is uncertain (Bar. 3:23, “the children/descendants of Hagar”).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
