JAARE-OREGIM jā’ ə rĭ ôr’ ə jĭm (יַעְרֵי׃֙־אֹרְגִ֜ים, LXX ̓Αριωγιμ). The name of a man who is the father of Elhanan, described as the killer of Goliath the Gittite (2 Sam 21:19).

An apparent textual error is noted: the first part intended to be Jair (1 Chron 20:5), and the second part prob. a scribal mistake, in bringing up “oregim” (“weavers”) from the following line (2 Sam 21:19). The problem of who killed Goliath may be solved by the statement in 1 Chronicles 20:5, where Elhanan is said to have slain Lahme, the brother of Goliath.
