Pelethites Mentioned always along with the Cherethites, and only in the time of David. The word probably means "runners" or "couriers," and may denote that while forming part of David's bodyguard, they were also sometimes employed as couriers (Sa2 8:18; Sa2 20:7, Sa2 20:23; Kg1 1:38, Kg1 1:44; Ch1 18:17). Some, however, think that these are the names simply of two Philistine tribes from which David selected his body-guard.
