Cherethim

[Esek 25:16 ], more frequently Cherethites, the inhabitants of Southern Philistia, the Philistines [Sef 2:5 ]. The Cherethites and the Pelethites were David's life-guards [1Sam 30:14 ; 2Sam 8:18 ; 2Sam 20:7 ; 2Sam 20:23 ; 2Sam 23:23 ]. This name is by some interpreted as meaning "Cretans," and by others "executioners," who were ready to execute the king's sentence of death [1Mos 37:36 ], marg.; [1Kong 2:25 ].
