Mecherathite
Mecherathite
(Hebrews Mekerathi’, , gentile from , Mekerah’, a sword, as in. Gen 49:5; Sept. v. r. , Vulg. Mecherathites), an epithet applied to Hepher, one of David’s famous warriors, probably as being a native of MECHERAH, a place otherwise unknown (1Ch 11:36); but from the parallel passage (2Sa 23:34) it would appear to be a corruption for MAACHATHITE.

Mecherathite
me-kerath-t (, mekherath, dweller in Mecharah): Possibly this is a misreading of Maachathite (the King James Version). It is the description of Hepher, one of David’s valiant men (1Ch 11:36).
In the Wallel list of 2 Sam 23, especially 2Sa 23:34, the Maachathite is mentioned without name in the place in the list given to Hepher in 1Ch 11:36. The variations do not destroy the conviction that the list is virtually the same.
