They are often mentioned alongside the Cherethites, another group of elite soldiers. The Pelethites were likely mercenaries or foreign troops who served David loyally and played a significant role in his military campaigns.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Pelethites, along with the Cherethites, were part of the elite forces that served under King David. These groups were likely composed of non-Israelite mercenaries, possibly of Philistine origin, who were integrated into David's army. Their presence highlights the diverse and multicultural nature of David's reign, as he united various groups under his leadership. The use of foreign troops was not uncommon in ancient Near Eastern monarchies, as they provided a reliable and professional military force.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6431.htm">Peleth</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>some of David's soldiers<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Pelethites (7).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מְּלֵתִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective, of a people</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>from unknown proper name;
