The name Jerimoth means "He is exalted," which may reflect the character or aspirations of the individual or his family. The presence of Jerimoth in this list signifies the widespread support David received from various tribes and families, illustrating the fulfillment of God's promise to establish David's kingdom. This support is a testament to David's growing influence and the divine favor upon him.<p><b>Bealiah</b><br>Bealiah's name means "Yahweh is Lord," which is significant given the cultural context of the time, where the worship of Baal was prevalent among neighboring nations. The name itself is a declaration of allegiance to Yahweh, the God of Israel, and a rejection of pagan deities. Bealiah's inclusion in David's ranks symbolizes the spiritual commitment of David's followers and their dedication to the true God, aligning with the biblical theme of faithfulness to Yahweh.<p><b>Shemariah</b><br>Shemariah, meaning "Yahweh has kept," reflects the belief in God's providence and protection. This name is indicative of the faith and trust placed in God by the Israelites. Shemariah's role as a warrior for David suggests that those who joined David were not only skilled in battle but also spiritually aligned with his mission to establish a kingdom under God's rule. This aligns with the biblical narrative of God preserving and guiding His chosen leaders and their followers.<p><b>Shephatiah the Haruphite</b><br>Shephatiah means "Yahweh has judged," a name that conveys a sense of divine justice and righteousness. The designation "the Haruphite" indicates his clan or family origin, which may have been a smaller or less prominent group within the tribe of Benjamin or Judah. The mention of Shephatiah and his specific lineage highlights the diverse backgrounds of David's supporters, showcasing the unity among different tribes and families in support of David's kingship. This unity is a precursor to the establishment of a united Israel under David, foreshadowing the ultimate unity found in Christ's kingdom.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/e/eluzai.htm">Eluzai</a></b><br>- One of the warriors who joined David at Ziklag.
