Strong's Lexicon Rei: Rei Original Word: רֵעִי Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Re`iy Pronunciation: ray-ee Phonetic Spelling: (ray-ee') Definition: Rei Meaning: Rei is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root רֵעַ (rea), meaning "friend" or "companion." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Rei, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: Rei is mentioned in the context of being a supporter of King David during the latter part of his reign. Context: Rei is identified in the Hebrew Bible as one of King David's loyal supporters. He is specifically mentioned in 1 Kings 1:8, where he is listed among those who did not join Adonijah's rebellion against David. Instead, Rei remained faithful to David, aligning himself with other key figures such as Zadok the priest, Benaiah son of Jehoiada, Nathan the prophet, and Shimei. This group of loyalists played a crucial role in ensuring the succession of Solomon to the throne, as they supported David's decision to anoint Solomon as king. Rei's inclusion in this list highlights his significance and loyalty within David's inner circle during a critical period of transition in the Israelite monarchy.
