Ithrite

A family or clan that lived at Kiriath-jearim (1 Chronicles 2:53). Two of King David's mighty warriors, Ira and Gareb, were Ithrites (2 Samuel 23:38; 1 Chronicles 11:40; in the New Living Translation, they are described as being "from Jattir"). The name Ithrite may come from the place name Jattir or from a person named Jether.
