Hiddai

הִדַּי / חוּרַי/HID-dye/

“Exuberant, mighty, or for Jehovah's rejoicing”

Summary

Hiddai (also called Hurai) was one of David's thirty-seven mighty warriors, described as being from "the brooks of Gaash."

☩David's Warrior

Hiddai appears among David's elite warriors, identified as coming from "the torrents (or brooks) of Gaash"—the wadis or stream valleys near Mount Gaash in Ephraim, close to Joshua's burial place at Timnath-serah. In the parallel list of 1 Chronicles, his name appears as Hurai, which Kennicott considered the more original form.
