Raddai
Raddai (רַדַּי) is a personal name of an Israelite individual, specifically listed as a son of Jesse of Bethlehem. The exact meaning of the name is uncertain, though it may convey a sense of assertiveness or strength derived from an association with a root meaning 'to rule' or 'have dominion.' In the biblical context, it designates an individual of the pre-monarchic period, rather than expressing a qualitative characteristic.
