PELETHITES

(Heb. pĕlēṯî)

Part of King David’s personal bodyguard and mercenary force (2 Sam. 8:18; 20:23; 1 Chr. 18:17), like the Cherethites recruited when David was stationed at Ziklag (1 Sam. 27). The Pelethites and Cherethites formed an effective, cohesive fighting force in David’s military during all of his campaigns and suppressing of rebellions (2 Sam. 15:18; 20:7; 1 Kgs. 1:38, 44). Since they were so closely identified with the Cherethites, it is generally thought that they too were of Aegean origin, but there is little supportive evidence.

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.
