It is used to identify a specific individual who was a close associate of King David. The name itself carries the connotation of friendship or companionship, reflecting the role and relationship of the individual within the narrative.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of personal characteristics or relationships. The name Rei, derived from the root meaning "friend," suggests a person who was likely trusted and valued within the royal court. The social and political structure of David's time was heavily reliant on personal relationships and alliances, making the role of a friend or companion to the king particularly important.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7462b.htm">raah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a courtier of King David<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Rei (1).<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">רֵעִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> (compare Palmyrene proper name <font class="hebrew2">רעי</font> <em>friendly</em> (?)
