The meaning of Hararite in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

ha'-ra-rit (ha-harari, or ha-'arari): Literally, "mountaineer," more particularly an inhabitant of the hill country of Judah. Thus used of two heroes:

(1) Shammah, the son of Agee (II Samuel 23:11, II Samuel 23:33). The parallel passage, I Chronicles 11:34, has "Shage" in place of "Shammah."

(2) Ahiam, the son of Sharar the Ararite" (II Samuel 23:33). In I Chronicles 11:35, "Sacar" for Sharar as here.
