Hushathite

Hoosh´uh-thit

A resident of the home village (or clan) of two of David’s warriors, Sibbecai (1Chr 11:29; 1Chr 20:4; 1Chr 27:11; 2Sam 21:18) and Mebunnai (2Sam 23:27). The location has been identified as Hushah, west of Bethlehem and in the path of Philistine invasion into the hill country. Such a location would involve David’s conflicts with the Philistines in which the two warriors performed with distinction.
