JAARE-OREGIM

(Heb. yaʿărê ʾōrĕgîm)

A Bethlehemite, the father of Elhanan (2 Sam. 21:19). He is said to have killed Goliath at Gob. In a doublet of the passage at 1 Chr. 20:5 Elhanan kills Lahmi, Goliath’s brother; here Elhanan’s father is Jair. Jaare-oregim is probably an error. According to 2 Sam. 21:19 Goliath’s spear is said to be as large as a weavers’ beam. Oregim (“weavers”; e.g. Isa. 19:9) seems to have been repeated erroneously and joined to the name Jair.

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.
