The meaning of Jaare-oregim in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)

ja'-a-re-or'-e-jim, -or'e-gim (ya'are'oreghim): In II Samuel 21:19, given as the name of a Bethlehemite, father of Elhanan, who is said to have slain Goliath the Gittite (compare 1Sa. 17). The name is not likely to be a man's name; the second part means "weavers" and occurs also as the last word of the verse in the Massoretic Text, so it is probably a scribal error here due to repetition. The first part is taken to be (1) an error for ya'ir (see JAIR), which is to be read in the parallel section in I Chronicles 20:5; (2) in II Samuel 23:24 Elhanan is the son of Dodo, also a Bethlehemite, and Klostermann would read here Dodai as the name of Elhanan's father.
