The name Ahiam means "brother of the people," which may indicate his role as a unifying figure among the warriors. The mention of his father, Sachar, provides a genealogical link, emphasizing the importance of family lineage in Israelite society. The term "Hararite" likely refers to a geographical or tribal designation, possibly linked to the region of Harar, though its exact location is uncertain. This designation may indicate Ahiam's origin or the clan he belonged to, highlighting the diverse backgrounds of David's warriors.<p><b>Eliphal son of Ur</b><br>Eliphal, another of David's mighty men, is noted for his valor and loyalty. His name means "God is judge," reflecting a common theme in Hebrew names that emphasize divine attributes or actions. The mention of his father, Ur, provides a familial context, which was significant in maintaining tribal and familial identities. The inclusion of Eliphal in this list underscores the diverse composition of David's forces, drawing from various tribes and families. This diversity is a testament to David's ability to unite different groups under his leadership, a foreshadowing of the unity found in Christ's kingdom, where all believers are brought together regardless of their backgrounds.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/a/ahiam.htm">Ahiam</a></b><br>Ahiam is identified as the son of Sacar and is noted as a Hararite.
