Strong's Lexicon Maharay: Maharay Original Word: מַהֲרַי Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root מָהַר (mahar), meaning "to hasten" or "to be quick." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Maharay, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of a mighty warrior or valiant man can be related to Greek terms like ἰσχυρός (ischyros, Strong's G2478), meaning "strong" or "mighty." Usage: Maharay is a personal name found in the Hebrew Bible. It is used to identify an individual who was one of King David's mighty warriors, specifically listed among the elite group known as "The Thirty." Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, being named among David's mighty warriors was a significant honor. These warriors were renowned for their bravery, skill in battle, and loyalty to King David. Maharay, as one of these warriors, would have been part of a select group that played a crucial role in establishing and defending the kingdom of Israel during David's reign. The name itself, derived from a root meaning "to hasten," may suggest qualities of swiftness or readiness, which were valuable traits for a warrior.
