HARIPH . A family which returned with Zerubbabel ( Nehemiah 7:24 ) and signed the covenant ( Nehemiah 10:19 ) = Ezra 2:18 Jorah , 1Es 5:16 Arsiphurith; one of David’s companions in 1 Chronicles 12:5 is termed a Haruphite ( Kethibh ), or Hariphite ( Qerç ). The latter reading, if correct, perhaps points to a connexion with Hariph.
