hag.ri identifies Hagri as a named individual and, in plural gentilics, a group opposed in battle.

The term occurs chiefly as a plural gentilic for a group named in conflict accounts, while singular forms identify an individual in a personal designation and a man called “the Hagri.”

Senses in use

  1. A group named in conflict accounts · dominant

    The plural gentilic forms name the Hagri as opponents: in 1 Chronicles 5:10 the APB renders that they “made battle with the Hagri,” and in 1 Chronicles 5:19 it lists them among those with whom war was made. In 1 Chronicles 5:20, the Hagri and those with them are given into the other side's hand.

  2. A singular personal designation · common

    In 1 Chronicles 11:38, the singular proper-noun form occurs in the identification “Mibhar son of Hagri.” In 1 Chronicles 27:31, a singular gentilic form identifies Jaziz as “the Hagri” while describing his charge over the flock.

  3. Listed among named groups · rare

    In Psalm 83:7, the form occurs in a list alongside other named groups; the APB renders the surrounding list as “Gebal and Ammon and Amalek, Philistia together with the inhabitants of Tyre.” The singular morphology tag does not by itself clarify the term's specific contribution within that list.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly renders the plural forms as “the Hagri” in the conflict accounts and renders the singular forms as “Hagri” and “the Hagri” in 1 Chronicles. In Psalm 83:7, the supplied APB wording does not visibly isolate a corresponding English term.
