CHERETHIM - C>@ - (axe-men), kjv@Ezekiel:25:16) same as CHERETHITES.

CHERETHITES - C>@ - (executioners) and of King David. (2 Samuel kjv@8:18; 15:18; 20:7,23; kjv@Kings:1:38,44; kjv@1Chronicles:18:17) It is plain that these royal guards were employed as executioners., ( kjv@2Kings:11:4) and as couriers, (Kings:14:27) But it has been conjectured that they may have been foreign mercenaries, and therefore probably Philistines, of which name Pelethites may be only another form.

Cherethim @ kjv@Ezekiel:25:16), more frequently Cherethites, the inhabitants of Southern Philistia, the Philistines kjv@Zephaniah:2:5). The Cherethites and the Pelethites were David's life-guards ( kjv@1Samuel:30:14; kjv@2Samuel:8:18 kjv@2Samuel:20:7 kjv@2Samuel:20:23 kjv@2Samuel:23:23 ). This name is by some interpreted as meaning "Cretans," and by others "executioners," who were ready to execute the king's sentence of death kjv@Genesis:37:36, marg.; kjvKings:2:25).
