Carites
Carites
CARITES occurs in the Kethbh of the Heb. text and margin of RV [Note: Revised Version.] in 2Sa 20:23, where the Ker has Cherethites, and in RV [Note: Revised Version.] of 2Ki 11:4, where the AV [Note: Authorized Version.] has captains (RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] executioners). The Carites were possibly Phil. mercenaries from Caria, as the Cherethites were from Crete.
