All three occurrences are masculine singular gentilic nouns within genealogical or family lists. In 1 Chronicles 2:53 the APB renders a list of families and says that from them came “the Zorathite”; 1 Chronicles 2:54 likewise includes “the Zorathite” among Salmon’s sons, while 1 Chronicles 4:2 identifies families as “the families of the Zorathites.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “the Zorathite” in 1 Chronicles 2:53 and 1 Chronicles 2:54, and as “the Zorathites” in 1 Chronicles 4:2. These are translation-level presentations rather than definitions.
