I don't have access to GKC.

Well, grammars like GKC exist to answers questions like this.
I have found some other Resh with a dagesh in them:
1 Sam 1:6
1 Sam 10:24
1 Sam 17:25
Just to name a few.

So this brings me to my question:
How do you know?

By looking at a root, how can you tell how the Resh is to be handled?
Is there a system or method, or is it just haphazard?

Very befuddling.
And GKC does not answer John's question. In sections 22s and 64e it lists these examples and a few others as exceptions, but it does not explain them. GKC is a useful resource but does not answer all questions like these.
