Cherethim(axe-men), (Ezekiel 25:16) same as CHERETHITES.
Easton's Bible Dictionary
(
Ezek. 25:16), more frequently Cherethites, the inhabitants of Southern Philistia, the Philistines (
Zephaniah 2:5). The Cherethites and the Pelethites were David's life-guards (
1 Samuel 30:14;
2 Samuel 8:18;
20:7, 23;
23:23). This name is by some interpreted as meaning "Cretans," and by others "executioners," who were ready to execute the king's sentence of death (
Genesis 37:36, marg.;
1 Kings 2:25).
