Zorathites

Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:

Inhabitants of Zorah; but the designation seems to be limited to the family of Judah descended from Shobal (1 Chron. 4:2²And Reaiah the son of Shobal begat Jahath; and Jahath begat Ahumai, and Lahad. These are the families of the Zorathites. (1 Chronicles 4:2)).

Concise Bible Dictionary:

Family descended from Shobal, son of Judah: probably so called because of inhabiting Zorah (1 Chron. 4:2²And Reaiah the son of Shobal begat Jahath; and Jahath begat Ahumai, and Lahad. These are the families of the Zorathites. (1 Chronicles 4:2)). Called ZAREATHITES in 1 Chronicles 2:53⁵³And the families of Kirjath-jearim; the Ithrites, and the Puhites, and the Shumathites, and the Mishraites; of them came the Zareathites, and the Eshtaulites. (1 Chronicles 2:53).
