Garev is also a biblical name. Garev was a warrior from the tribe of Judah (2 Samuel 23:38; 1 Chronicles 11:40). Ithrite is the designation of two members of King David's guard (Mighty men), Ira and Gareb. (2 Samuel 23:38; 1 Chronicles 11:40) They may have come from Yatir, in the mountains of Judah.

According to the prophecy of Jeremiah, the city of Jerusalem would one day stretch as far as Givat Garev. [2]
