From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Hagarene
     or Hagarite. (1.) One of David's mighty men (1 Chr. 11:38), the
     son of a foreigner.
     
       (2.) Used of Jaziz (1 Chr. 27:31), who was over David's
     flocks. "A Hagarite had charge of David's flocks, and an


     Ishmaelite of his herds, because the animals were pastured in
     districts where these nomadic people were accustomed to feed
     their cattle."
     
       (3.) In the reign of Saul a great war was waged between the
     trans-Jordanic tribes and the Hagarites (1 Chr. 5), who were
     overcome in battle. A great booty was captured by the two tribes
     and a half, and they took possession of the land of the
     Hagarites.
     
       Subsequently the "Hagarenes," still residing in the land on
     the east of Jordan, entered into a conspiracy against Israel
     (comp. Ps. 83:6). They are distinguished from the Ishmaelites.
