Ithrite is a term predominantly found in the Bible, specifically in the book of Second Samuel and Chronicles. According to the biblical narrative, Ithrite refers to a clan or group of people belonging to the tribe of Benjamin, which was one of the twelve tribes of ancient Israel. The origin of the term Ithrite can be traced back to the name "Ithra," who was the father of Amasa, a commander in the army of Absalom, the rebellious son of King David.
The term Ithrite can also refer to the descendants of Jether, another character mentioned in the Bible. Jether, an Ishmaelite, is described as a wise man who was placed in charge of the flocks of King David. His descendants are mentioned as "Ithrites" in the biblical text.
While the biblical narrative provides limited information about the Ithrites, it can be inferred that they were likely a significant and influential group within the tribe of Benjamin. However, beyond their association with the figures of Amasa and Jether, there is little-known historical or cultural information available specifically about the Ithrite group, making it difficult to provide a comprehensive dictionary definition outside of the biblical context.
The word "Ithrite" refers to a biblical term used to describe a member of the clan of Ithra, also known as Jether or Jethro. The etymology of the word can be traced back to the Hebrew language. In Hebrew, the word for an "Ithrite" is "Yithri", which is derived from the name "Ithra" or "Yithra", the ancestor of the clan. The origin and meaning of the name "Ithra" or "Yithra" itself are uncertain and debated among scholars.
