The Hebrew word bacharumoth (בַּחֲרוּמוֹת) or its variant Baharumite refers to an inhabitant of Bahurim (H980), a village near Jerusalem on the road between the city and the Mount of Olives. The term appears in the list of David's mighty men (1 Chronicles 11:33), where Azmaveth the Baharumite is listed among the thirty warriors.
David's mighty men represent a remarkable community of fierce loyalty and covenant brotherhood. These warriors — many of whom joined David while he was a fugitive in the wilderness — are a picture of the church: gathered around a anointed king before his full kingship was realized, willing to sacrifice and fight for a cause that seemed lost. Azmaveth the Baharumite represents fidelity to the true king in obscurity. Bahurim is also famous as the place where Shimei cursed David when he fled from Absalom (2 Samuel 16:5) — illustrating the city's complex relationship with the Davidic line.
