Haruts (also spelled Harets) is mentioned in the Bible as the father of Shammah the Hararite, one of David's mighty men. He likely belonged to the city of Harod or the Harar district. His descendants served faithfully in King David's elite forces.
8These are the names of David's mighty men: Josheb-basshebeth the Tahkemonite, chief of the three; he wielded his spear against eight hundred men, whom he killed on a single occasion.
9Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodo son of Ahohi, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who had gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel withdrew.
10He stood his ground and struck down the Philistines until his hand grew weary and froze to his sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day, and the troops came back to him only to strip the dead.
11Next to him was Shammah son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had massed at Lehi, where there was a field full of lentils, and the troops fled from the Philistines.
