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.
