DARDA där də (דַּרְדַּ֖ע; LXX, Δαρδα, Gr. has several spellings), perhaps, full of wisdom; or, by change of last letter, it could be thistle).

A son of Mahol (1 Kings 4:31), a Judahite of the family of Zerah (1 Chron 2:6). The name is given as Dara in the above Chronicles reference (which could be a copyist’s error), where a fifth man, Zimri, is added and all five listed as sons of Zerah. Of the five in Chronicles, four are also named in the above Kings passage. That the Kings reference makes them sons of Mahol, and the Chronicles reference, sons of Zerah, can be explained by understanding that Mahol was their proximate father, and Zerah the Ezrahite, a remote ancestor.
