Old Testament

Gareb the Ithrite was one of David's mighty warriors, known for his military prowess.

Gareb the Ithrite was enrolled among David's thirty mighty warriors, the elite corp of soldiers whose valor secured the Davidic kingdom (2 Samuel 23:38; 1 Chronicles 11:40). The designation 'Ithrite' indicates his origin from the clan of Jether or Ithrite, a Judahite family group. No individual exploits of Gareb are recorded, but his membership in David's thirty acknowledges his recognized distinction as a soldier.
