亞希拉	AHIRA	代表民1:15 民2:29 民7:78 民10:27	ISBE a-hi-ra (achira`, "brother of evil," or, "my brother is evil"): A man of Naphtali, contemporary with Moses. He is five times mentioned as the son of Enan. He was the representative of his tribe who assisted Moses in the census (Nu 1:15). He was the hereditary "prince" of the tribe; he made the tribal offering (Nu 2:29; 7:78; compare 7:83), and was commander of the tribal host when on the march (Nu 10:27).	Easton brother of evil = unlucky, or my brother is friend, chief of the tribe of Naphtali at the Exodus (Num. 1:15; 2:29).	HDBN brother of iniquity; brother of the shepherd	SBD (brother of evil , i.e. unlucky ), Chief of the tribe of Naphtali. ( Numbers 1:15 ; 2:29 ; Numbers 7:78 Numbers 7:83 ; 10:27 )
亞希拿達	AHINADAB	代表王上4:14	ISBE a-hin-a-dab (achinadhabh, "brother of willingness," or, "my brother is willing"): Decidedly the ordinary use of the stem nadhabh is to denote willingness rather than liberality or nobleness One of Solomons twelve commissary officers (1 Ki 4:14). He was the son of Iddo, and his district was Mahanaim.	Easton brother of liberality = liberal, one of the twelve commissariat officers appointed by Solomon in so many districts of his kingdom to raise supplies by monthly rotation for his household. He was appointed to the district of Mahanaim (1 Kings 4:14), east of Jordan.	HDBN a willing brother; brother of a vow	SBD (brother the noble , i.e. a noble brother ), Son of Iddo, one of Solomons twelve commissaries who supplied provisions for the royal household. ( 1 Kings 4:14 ) (B.C. 1014-975.)
亞希摩	AHIMOTH	代表代上6:25 代上6:26 代6:27	ISBE a-hi-moth (achimoth, "brother of death," or, "my brother is death"): A descendant of Kohath the son of Levi (1 Ch 6:25); ancestor of Elkanah the father of Samuel. The name Mahath holds a similar place in the list that follows (1 Ch 6:35).		HDBN brother of death	SBD (brother of death ), a Levite apparently in the time of David. ( 1 Chronicles 6:25 ) In v. ( 1 Chronicles 6:35 ) for Ahimoth we find MAHATH, as in ( Luke 3:26 )
亞希撒抹	AHISAMACH	代表出31:6 出35:34 出36:23	ISBE a-his-a-mak (achicamakh, "my brother supports"): A man of the tribe of Dan, father of Oholiab, who was the assistant of Bezalel in the building of the tent of meeting and preparing its furniture (Ex 31:6; 35:34; 38:23).		HDBN brother of strength	SBD (brother of help ), a Danite, father of Aholiab one of the architects of the tabernacle. ( Exodus 31:6 ; 35:34 ; 38:23 ) (B.C. 1490)
亞希暖	AHINOAM	代表撒上14:50 撒上25:43	ISBE a-hi-no-am, a-hin-o-am (achino`am, "my brother is pleasantness"): (1) Daughter of Ahimaaz, and wife of King Saul (1 Sam 14:50). (2) The woman from Jezreel whom David married after Saul gave Michal to another husband. She and Abigail, the widow of Nabal, seem to have been Davids only wives prior to the beginning of his reign in Hebron. His marriage to Abigail is mentioned first, with some details, followed by the statement, easily to be understood in the pluperfect, that he had previously married Ahinoam (1 Sam 25:39-44). Three times they are mentioned together, Ahinoam always first (1 Sam 27:3; 30:5; 2 Sam 2:2), and Ahinoam is the mother of Davids first son and Abigail of his second (2 Sam 3:2; 1 Ch 3:1). Ahinoams son was Amnon. The record really represents Davids polygamy as a series of bids for political influence; the names of Amnon, Absalom, Adonijah suggest that the method was not finally a success. Willis J. Beecher	Easton brother of pleasantness = pleasant. (1.) The daughter of Ahimaaz, and wife of Saul (1 Sam. 14:50). (2.) A Jezreelitess, the first wife of David (1 Sam. 25:43; 27:3). She was the mother of Amnon (2 Sam. 3:2). (See 1 Sam. 30:5, 18; 2 Sam. 2:2.)	HDBN beauty of the brother; brother of motion
亞希暗	AHIAM	代表撒下14:50 撒上25:43	ISBE a-hi-am (achiam, "mothers brother"): One of Davids thirty heroes. He was the son of Sharar (2 Sam 23:33) or according to 1 Ch 11:35 of Sacar, the Hararite.	Easton mother's brother, one of David's thirty heroes (2 Sam. 23:33; 1 Chr. 11:35).	HDBN mothers brother; brother of a nation	SBD son of Sharar the Hararite (or of Sacar,) ( 1 Chronicles 11:35 ) one of Davids thirty mighty men. ( 2 Samuel 23:33 ) (B.C. 1050.)
亞希沙哈	AHISHAHAR	代表代上7:10	ISBE a-hish-a-har (achishachar, "brother of dawn"): One of the sons of Bilhan, the son of Jediael, the son of Benjamin (1 Ch 7:10).			SBD (brother of the dawn ), one of the sons of Bilhan, the grandson of Benjamin. ( 1 Chronicles 7:10 )
亞希煞	AHISHAR	代表王上4:6	ISBE a-hish-ar (achishar, "my brother has sung"): Mentioned in Solomons list of heads of departments as "over the household" (1 Ki 4:6).	Easton brother of song = singer, the officer who was "over the household" of Solomon (1 Kings 4:6).	HDBN brother of a prince; brother of a song	SBD the controller of Solomons household. ( 1 Kings 4:6 )
亞希瑪斯	AHIMAAZ	代表撒上14:50 撒下15:27 撒下18:19 王上4:15	ISBE a-hi-ma-az, a-him-a-az (achima`ats, perhaps "my brother is rage," or "brother of rage"): (1) Father of Ahinoam the wife of King Saul (1 Sam 14:50). (2) The son of Zadok the high priest (1 Ch 6:8,9,53). With his father he remained loyal to Dared in the rebellions both of Absalom and of Adonijah. With Jonathan the son of Abiathar he carried information to Dared when he fled from Absalom (2 Sam 15:27,36; 17:17,20). At his own urgent request he carried tidings to David after the death of Absalom (2 Sam 18:19 ff). He told the king of the victory, and also, through his reluctance to speak, informed him of Absaloms death. By his reluctance and his sympathy he softened a little the message, which the Cushite presently repeated more harshly. That Ahimaaz did not succeed his father as high priest has been inferred from the fact that in the Solomon list of heads of departments (1 Ki 4:2) Azariah the son of Zadok is mentioned as priest. It is assumed that this Azariah is the one who appears in the genealogy as the son of Ahimaaz, and that for some reason Ahimaaz was left out of the succession. These inferences are not Justified by the record, though possibly the record does not absolutely disprove them. As the list stands it makes Zadok and Abiathar the high priests. Azariah and Zabud, the son of Nathan (1 Ki 4:2,5), are spoken of as holding priestly offices of a different kind. Ahimaaz may have died early, or may have followed some other career, but the simple fact is that we do not know. (3) Ahimaaz, in Naphtali, was one of Solomons twelve commissary officers (1 Ki 4:15), who married Basemath the daughter of Solomon. It is not impossible that he was Ahimaaz the son of Zadok, though there is no proof to that effect. Willis J. Beecher	Easton brother of anger = irascible. (1.) The father Ahinoam, the wife of Saul (1 Sam. 14:50). (2.) The son and successor of Zadok in the office of high priest (1 Chr. 6:8, 53). On the occasion of the revolt of Absalom he remained faithful to David, and was of service to him in conveying to him tidings of the proceedings of Absalom in Jerusalem (2 Sam. 15:24-37; 17:15-21). He was swift of foot, and was the first to carry to David tidings of the defeat of Absalom, although he refrained, from delicacy of feeling, from telling him of his death (2 Sam. 18:19-33).	HDBN a brother of the council
亞希甘	AHIKAM	代表代下34:20 王下25:22 耶26:24	ISBE a-hi-kam (achiqam, "my brother has risen up"): A prominent man of the time of King Josiah and the following decades (2 Ki 22:12,14; 25:22; 2 Ch 34:20; Jer 26:24; 39:14; 40:5 ff; 41:1 ff; 43:6). He was the son of Shaphan, who very likely is to be identified with Shaphan the scribe, who was at that time so prominent. Ahikam was the father of Gedaliah, whom, on the capture of Jerusalem, Nebuchadnezzar made governor of the land. Ahikam was a member of the deputation sent by Josiah to the prophetess Huldah to consult her concerning the contents of the Book of the Law which had been found. Under Jehoiakim he had sufficient influence to protect Jeremiah from being put to death. On the capture of Jerusalem Nebuchadnezzar committed Jeremiah into the care of Gedaliah. It is clear that both Shaphan and his son, like Jeremiah, belonged to the party which held that the men of Judah were under obligation to keep the oath which they had sworn to the tang of Babylon. Willis J. Beecher	Easton brother of support = helper, one of the five whom Josiah sent to consult the prophetess Huldah in connection with the discovery of the book of the law (2 Kings 22:12-14; 2 Chr. 34:20). He was the son of Shaphan, the royal secretary, and the father of Gedaliah, governor of Judea after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians (2 Kings 25:22; Jer. 40:5-16; 43:6). On one occasion he protected Jeremiah against the fury of Jehoiakim (Jer. 26:24). It was in the chamber of another son (Germariah) of Shaphan that Baruch read in the ears of all the people Jeremiah's roll.	HDBN a brother who raises up or avenges	SBD (a brother who raises up ), son of Shaphan the scribe, an influential officer at the court of Josiah, was one of the delegates sent by Hilkaih to consult Huldah. ( 2 Kings 22:12-14 ) In the reign of Jehoiakim he successfully used his influence to protect the prophet Jeremiah. ( Jeremiah 26:24 ) He was the father of Gedaliah. [GEDALIAH] (B.C. 641).
亞希突	AHITUB	代表撒上4:21 撒下8:17 代上6:7 代上6:8 代上6:11 代上6:12 拉7:2 拉7:3 尼11:11	ISBE a-hi-tub (achiTubh, "brother of goodness," i.e. "good brother," or, "my brother is goodness"): (1) The brother of Ichabod and son of Phinehas the son of Eli (1 Sam 14:3; 22:9,11,12,20), According to 1 Ch 24 he and his line were descended from Aaron through Ithamar. The record implies that he was born while his father and grandfather were priests at Shiloh, and it says that he was the father and grandfather of priests; but it is silent as to his own exercise of the priestly office. We have no information concerning the office from the time when the Philistines captured the ark till Saul became king. See AHIJAH; AHIMELECH; ABIATHAR. (2) A descendant of Aaron through Eleazar: by this fact distinguished from Ahitub, the descendant of Ithamar, though nearly contemporaneous with him. Especially known as the father of Zadok who, at Solomons accession, became sole high priest (2 Sam 8:17; 1 Ch 6:8; 18:16). His genealogical line, from Levi to the Exile, is given in 1 Ch 6:1-15 (5:27-41). The three successive names, Ahitub and Zadok and Ahimaaz, appear in 2 Sam (8:17; 15:27, etc.). The line is paralleled by selected names in Ezr 7:1-5, and relatively late parts of it are paralleled in 1 Ch 9:11 and Neh 11:11. The best explanation of certain phenomena in Chronicles is that the record was copied from originals that were more or less fragmentary. In some cases, also, a writer gives only such parts of a genealogy as are needed for his purpose. It is due to these causes that there are many omissions in the genealogical lists, and that they supplement one another. Allowing for these facts there is no reason why we should not regard the genealogies of Ahitub as having distract historical value. (3) In the genealogies, in the seventh generation from Ahitub, the descendant of Eleazar, appears another Ahitub, the son of another Amariah and the father (or grandfather) of another Zadok (1 Ch 6:11 (5:37); 9:11; Neh 11:11). The list in Ezr 7 omits a block of names, and the Ahitub there named may be either 2 or 3. He is mentioned in 1 Esdras 8:2 and 2 Esdras 1:1, and the name occurs in Judith 8:1. In these places it appears in the English versions in the various forms: Ahitub, Ahitob, Achitob, Acitho. Willis J. Beecher	Easton brother of goodness = good. (1.) The son of Phinehas. On the death of his grandfather Eli he succeeded to the office of high priest, and was himself succeeded by his son Ahijah (1 Sam. 14:3; 22:9, 11, 12, 20). (2.) The father of Zadok, who was made high priest by Saul after the extermination of the family of Ahimelech (1 Chr. 6:7, 8; 2 Sam. 8:17).	HDBN brother of goodness	SBD (brother of goodness ). The son of Phinehas and grandson of Eli, and therefore of the family of Ithamar. ( 1 Samuel 14:3 ; 1 Samuel 22:9 1 Samuel 22:11 ) (B.C. 1125.) He was succeeded by his son Ahijah (AHIMELECH). (B.C. 1085.) Son of Amariah, and father of Zadok the high priest, ( 1 Chronicles 6:7 1 Chronicles 6:8 ; 2 Samuel 8:17 ) of the house of Eleazar. (B.C. before 1045.)
亞希米勒	AHIMELECH	代表撒上22:9 撒上22:20 撒上23:6 撒上30:7 撒下8:17 代上18;16 代上24:3 代上24:6 代上24:31 撒上26:6	ISBE a-him-e-lek (achimelekh, "brother of a king," or, "my brother is king," or, "king is brother"): (1) The father of Davids high priest Abiathar: son of Ahitub, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eli (1 Sam 21:1,2,8; 22:9-20; 23:6; 30:7). Ahijah the son of Ahitub (1 Sam 14:3,18) was either the same person under another name, or was Ahimelechs father or brother. See AHIJAH, 3. Ahimelech is an interesting person, especially because he stands for whatever information we have concerning the priestly office in Israel during the period between Eli and David. Whether the Deuteronomic law for a central sanctuary originated with Moses or not, its provisions were very imperfectly carried out during the times of the Judges. This was particularly the case after the capture of the ark by the Philistines, and the deaths of Eli and his sons. From that time to the middle of the reign of David the ark was in the custody of the men of Kiriath-jearim "in the hill," or "in Gibeah" (1 Sam 7:1; 2 Sam 6:2,3). As a general proposition Israel "sought not unto it" (1 Ch 13:3), though there is nothing to forbid the idea that it may, on occasion, have been brought out from its seclusion (1 Sam 14:18). Before and after the accession of Saul some of the functions of the national sanctuary were transacted, of course very incompletely, at Gilgal (1 Sam 10:8; 11:14,15; 13:7 ff; 15:12,21,33). Whether there was a priesthood, with Ahitub the grandson of Eli as high priest, is a matter on which we have no information; but we may remind ourselves that the common assumption that such men as Samuel and Saul performed priestly offices is nothing but an assumption. After Saul has been king for a good many years we find Ahijah in his retinue, acting as priest and wearing priestly vestments. A few years later Ahimelech is at the head of the very considerable priestly establishment at Nob. The scale on which it existed is indicated by the fact that 85 robed priests perished in the massacre (1 Sam 22:18). They had families residing at Nob (1 Sam 22:19). They were thought of as priests of Yahweh, and were held in reverence (1 Sam 22:17). It was a hereditary priesthood (1 Sam 22:11,15). Men deposited votive offerings there, the sword of Goliath, for example (1 Sam 21:9). There seems to have been some kind of police authority, whereby a person might be "detained" (1 Sam 21:7). It was customary to inquire of Yahweh there (1 Sam 22:10,15). A distraction was made between the common and the holy (1 Sam 21:4-6). The custom of the shewbread was maintained (1 Sam 21:6). In fine, Jesus is critically correct in calling the place "the house of God" (Mk 2:26). The account does not say that the ark was there, or that the burnt-offering of the morning and evening was offered, or that the great festivals were held. The priestly head of the establishment at Nob is represented to have been the man who had the right to the office through his descent from Aaron. It is gratuitous to assume that there were other similar sanctuaries in Israel, though the proposition that there were none might be, like other negative propositions, hard to establish by positive proof. (2) A son of Abiathar (2 Sam 8:17; 1 Ch 18:16; 24:6), and grandson of the above. In a list of the heads of departments under David, a list belonging later than the middle of Davids 40 years, and in which Davids sons appear, this Ahimelech, the son of Davids friend, is mentioned as sharing with Zadok a high position in the priesthood. In this capacity, later, he shared with David and Zadok in the apportionment of the priests into 24 ancestral classes, 16 of the house of Eleazar, and 8 of the house of Ithamar (1 Ch 24). In this account Ahimelech is mentioned three times, and with some detail. It is alleged as a difficulty that Abiathar was then living, and was high priest along with Zadok (1 Ch 15:11; 2 Sam 15:29; 19:11; 20:25; 1 Ki 2:27,35; 4:4, etc.). But surely there is no improbability in the affirmation that Abiathar had a son named Ahimelech, or that this son performed prominent priestly functions in his fathers lifetime. Many regard "Ahimelech the son of Abiathar" (Mt gives Ahimelech) as an inadvertent transposition for "Abiathar the son of Ahimelech." This is rather plausible in the passage in 2 Sam 8 and the duplicate of it in 1 Ch 18:16, but it has no application in the detailed account in 1 Ch 24. One must accept Ahimelech the son of Abiathar as historical unless, indeed, one regards the testimony of Ch to a fact as evidence in disproof of that fact. See ABIATHAR. (3) A Hittite, a companion and friend of David, when he was hiding from Saul in the wilderness (1 Sam 26:6). Willis J. Beecher	Easton brother of the king, the son of Ahitub and father of Abiathar (1 Sam. 22:20-23). He descended from Eli in the line of Ithamar. In 1 Chr. 18:16 he is called Abimelech, and is probably the same as Ahiah (1 Sam. 14:3, 18). He was the twelfth high priest, and officiated at Nob, where he was visited by David (to whom and his companions he gave five loaves of the showbread) when he fled from Saul (1 Sam. 21:1-9). He was summoned into Saul's presence, and accused, on the information of Doeg the Edomite, of disloyalty because of his kindness to David; whereupon the king commanded that he, with the other priests who stood beside him (86 in all), should be put to death. This sentence was carried into execution by Doeg in the most cruel manner (1 Sam. 22:9-23). Possibly Abiathar had a son also called Ahimelech, or the two names, as some think, may have been accidentally transposed in 2 Sam. 8:17; 1 Chr. 18:16, marg.; 24:3, 6, 31.	HDBN my brother is a king; my kings brother	SBD (brother of the king ). Son of Ahitub, ( 1 Samuel 22:11 1 Samuel 22:12 ) and high priest of Nob in the days of Saul. He gave David the shew bread to eat, and the sword of Goliath; and for so doing was put to death, with his whole house, by Sauls order. Abiathar alone escaped. [ABIATHAR] (B.C. 1085-1060.) A Hittite. ( 1 Samuel 26:6 )
亞希約	AHIO	代表撒下6:3 撒下6:4 代上8:14 代上8:15 代上8:16 代上8:31 代上9:37	ISBE a-hi-o (achyo, variously explained as "his brother," "brotherly," "brother of Yahweh," "my brother is Yah"): Proper names containing a similar form of the name of Yahweh are found on the ostraca recently exhumed at Samaria. The word is always treated as a common noun in the ordinary Greek copies, being rendered either "brother" or "brothers," or "his brother" or "his brothers"; but this is probably to be taken as an instance of the relative inferiority of the Greek text as compared with the Massoretic Text. See OSTRACA. (1) One of the sons of Beriah, the son of Elpaal, the son of Shaharaim and Hushim, reckoned among the families of Benjamin (1 Ch 8:14). Beriah and Shema are described as `ancestral heads "of the inhabitants of Aijalon, who put to flight the inhabitants of Gath." (2) A descendant of Jeiel ("the father of Gibeon") and his wife Maacah (1 Ch 8:31; 9:37). King Saul apparently came from the same family (1 Ch 8:30,33; 9:39). (3) One of the men who drove the new cart when David first attempted to bring the ark from the house of Abinadab to Jerusalem (2 Sam 6:3,4; 1 Ch 13:7). In Samuel Uzza and Ahio are called sons of Abinadab. By the most natural understanding of the Biblical data about 100 years had elapsed since the ark was brought to the house; they were sons of that Abinadab in the sense of being his descendants. Whether he had a successor of the same name living in Davids time is a matter of conjecture. Willis J. Beecher	Easton brotherly. (1.) One of the sons of Beriah (1 Chr. 8:14). (2.) One of the sons of Jehiel the Gibeonite (1 Chr. 8:31; 9:37). (3.) One of the sons of Abinadab the Levite. While Uzzah went by the side of the ark, he walked before it guiding the oxen which drew the cart on which it was carried, after having brought it from his father's house in Gibeah (1 Chr. 13:7; 2 Sam. 6:3, 4).	HDBN his brother; his brethren	SBD (brotherly ). Son of Abinadab, who accompanied the ark when it was brought out of his fathers house. ( 2 Samuel 6:3 2 Samuel 6:4 ; 1 Chronicles 13:7 ) (B.C.1043.) A Benjamite, one of the sons of Beriah. ( 1 Chronicles 8:14 ) A Benjamite, Son of Jehiel. ( 1 Chronicles 8:31 ; 9:37 )
亞希蘭	AHIRAM	代表民26:38	ISBE a-hi-ram (achiram, "exalted brother," or "my brother is exalted"): A son of Benjamin. Mentioned third of the five in Nu 26:38,39. In 1 Ch 8:1 five sons are likewise mentioned, being explicitly numbered; the third name, Aharah (achrach), is conjectured to be either a corruption of Ahiram or a different name for the same person. In 1 Ch 7:6 ff is a fuller list of Benjamite names, but it is fragmentary and not clear. In it occurs Aher (acher), which may be either Ahiram or Aharah with the end of the word lost. In Gen 46:21 ten sons of Benjamin are mentioned, some being there counted as sons who, in the other lists, are spoken of as more remote descendants. In this list Ehi (echi) is perhaps Ahiram shortened. See AHARAH; AHER; EHI. Willis J. Beecher		HDBN brother of craft	SBD (brother of height, lofty ), one of the sons of Benjamin, and ancestor of the AHIRAMITES ( Numbers 26:38 ) In ( Genesis 46:21 ) the name appears as "Ehi and Rosh." It is uncertain whether Ahiram is the same as AHER, ( 1 Chronicles 7:12 ) or AHARAH, ( 1 Chronicles 8:1 )
亞希雅	AHIJAH	代表代上2:25 代上8:7 撒上14:3 撒上14:18 代上11:36 代上26:20 王上4:3 王上11:29 王上11:30 王上11:31 王上11:32 王上11:33 王上11:34 王上11:35 王上11:36 王上11:37 王上11:38 王上11:39 代下9:29 王上15:27 王上15:27 王上15:33 王上21:22 王下9:9 尼10:26	ISBE a-hi-ja (achiyah or achiyahu, "brother of Yahweh," "my brother is Yahweh," "Yah is brother." In the King James Version the name sometimes appears as Ahiah): (1) One of the sons of Jerahmeel the great-grandson of Judah (1 Ch 2:25). (2) A descendant of Benjamin (1 Ch 8:7). (3) The son of Ahitub, priest in the time of King Saul (1 Sam 14:3,18). Either he is the same with Ahimelech, who is mentioned later, or he is the father or brother of Ahimelech. He is introduced to us when Saul has been so long on the throne that his son Jonathan is a man grown and a warrior. He is in attendance upon Saul, evidently as an official priest, "wearing an ephod." When Saul wishes direction from God he asks the priest to bring hither the ark; but then, without waiting for the message, Saul counts the confusion in the Philistine camp a sufficient indication of the will of Providence, and hurries off to the attack. Some copies of the Greek here read "ephod" instead of "ark," but the documentary evidence in favor of that reading is far from decisive. If the Hebrew reading is correct, then the seclusion of the ark, from the time of its return from Philistia to the time of David, was not so absolute as many have supposed. See AHIMELECH, i. (4) One of Davids mighty men, according to the list in 1 Ch 11:36. The corresponding name in the list in 2 Sam 23:34 is Eliam the son of Ahithophel the Gilonite. (5) A Levite of Davids time who had charge of certain treasures connected with the house of God (1 Ch 26:20). The Greek copies presuppose the slightly different text which would give in English "and their brethren," instead of Ahijah. This is accepted by many scholars, and it is at least more plausible than most of the proposed corrections of the Hebrew text by the Greek. (6) Son of Sinsha and brother of Elihoreph (1 Ki 4:3). The two brothers were scribes of Solomon. Can the scribes Ahijah and Shemaiah (1 Ch 24:6) be identified with the men of the same names who, later, were known as distinguished prophets? Sinsha is probably the same with Shavsha (1 Ch 18:16; compare 2 Sam 8:17; 20:25), who was scribe under David, the office in this case descending from father to son. (7) The distinguished prophet of Shiloh, who was interested in Jeroboam I. In Solomons lifetime Ahijah clothed himself with a new robe, met Jeroboam outside Jerusalem, tore the robe into twelve pieces, and gave him ten, in token that he should become king of the ten tribes (1 Ki 11:29-39). Later, when Jeroboam had proved unfaithful to Yahweh, he sent his wife to Ahijah to ask in regard to their sick son. The prophet received her harshly, foretold the death of the son, and threatened the extermination of the house of Jeroboam (1 Ki 14). The narrative makes the impression that Ahijah was at this time a very old man (1 Ki 14:4). These incidents are differently narrated in the long addition at 1 Ki 12:24 found in some of the Greek copies. In that addition the account of the sick boy precedes that of the rent garment, and both are placed between the account of Jeroboams return from Egypt and that of the secession of the ten tribes, an order in which it is impossible to think that the events occurred. Further, this addition attributes the incident of the rent garment to Shemaiah and not to Ahijah, and says that Ahijah was 60 years old. Other notices speak of the fulfillment of the threatening prophecies spoken by Ahijah (2 Ch 10:15; 1 Ki 12:15; 15:29). In 2 Ch "the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite" is referred to as a source for the history of Solomon (9:29). (8) The father of Baasha king of Israel (1 Ki 15:27,33; 21:22; 2 Ki 9:9). (9) A Levite of Nehemiahs time, who sealed the covenant (Neh 10:26 the King James Version). Willis J. Beecher	Easton brother (i.e., "friend") of Jehovah. (1.)

Son of Ahitub (1 Sam. 14:3, 18), Ichabod's brother; the same probably as Ahimelech, who was high priest at Nob in the reign of Saul (1 Sam. 22:11). Some, however, suppose that Ahimelech was the brother of Ahijah, and that they both officiated as high priests, Ahijah at Gibeah or Kirjath-jearim, and Ahimelech at Nob. (4.) A Pelonite, one of David's heroes (1 Chr. 11:36); called also Eliam (2 Sam. 23:34). (5.) A Levite having charge of the sacred treasury in the temple (1 Chr. 26:20). (6.) One of Solomon's secretaries (1 Kings 4:3). (7.) A prophet of Shiloh (1 Kings 11:29; 14:2), called the "Shilonite," in the days of Rehoboam. We have on record two of his remarkable prophecies, 1 Kings 11:31-39, announcing the rending of the ten tribes from Solomon; and 1 Kings 14:6-16, delivered to Jeroboam's wife, foretelling the death of Abijah the king's son, the destruction of Jeroboam's house, and the captivity of Israel "beyond the river." Jeroboam bears testimony to the high esteem in which he was held as a prophet of God (1 Kings 14:2,3).	HDBN same with Ahiah	SBD [AHIAH]
亞帥雅	ASAIAH	代表代上4:36 代上6:30 代上15:6 代上9:5 王下22:12 王下22:14	ISBE a-sa-ya ([`asayah], "Yahweh has made," written Asahiah twice in the King James Version (2 Ki 22:12,14)): (1) A Levite of the family of Merari, and one of those who helped bring the ark from the house of Obed-edom to Jerusalem (1 Ch 6:30; 15:6,11).

亞干	ACHAN	代表書7:1 書7:2 書7:3 書7:4 書7:5 書7:6 書7:7 書7:8 書7:9 書7:10 書7:11 書7:12 書7:13 書7:14 書7:15 書7:16 書7:17 書7:18 書7:19 書7:20 書7:21 書7:2223 書7:24姦5 書7:26	ISBE a-kan (`akhan (in 1 Ch 2:7 Achar, `akhar, "troubler"): The descendant of Zerah the son of Judah who was put to death, in Joshuas time, for stealing some of the "devoted" spoil of the city of Jericho (Josh 7). The stem `akhan is not used in Hebrew except in this name. The stem `akhar has sufficient use to define it. It denotes trouble of the most serious kind--Jacobs trouble when his sons had brought him into blood feud with his Canaanite neighbors, or Jephthahs trouble when his vow required him to sacrifice his daughter (Gen 34:30; Jdg 11:35). In Prov (11:17,29; 15:6,27) the word is used with intensity to describe the results of cruelty, disloyalty, greed, wickedness. The record especially speaks of Achans conduct as the troubling of Israel (1 Ch 2:7; Josh 6:18; 7:24). In an outburst of temper Jonathan speaks of Saul as having troubled the land (1 Sam 14:29). Elijah and Ahab accuse each the other of being the troubler of Israel (1 Ki 18:17,18). The stem also appears in the two proper names ACHOR and OCHRAN (which see). The crime of Achan was a serious one. Quite apart from all questions of supposable superstition, or even religion, the cherem concerning Jericho had been proclaimed, and to disobey the proclamation was disobedience to military orders in an army that was facing the enemy. It is commonly held that Achans family were put to death with him, though they were innocent; but the record is not explicit on these points. One whose habits of thought lead him to expect features of primitive savagery in such a case as this will be sure to find what he expects; a person of different habits will not be sure that the record says that any greater cruelty was practiced on the family of Achan than that of compelling them to be present at the execution. Those who hold that the Deuteronomic legislation comes in any sense from Moses should not be in haste to think that its precepts were violated by Joshua in the case of Achan (see Dt 24:16). The record says that the execution took place in the arable valley of Achor, up from the Jordan valley. See ACHOR. Willis J. Beecher	Easton called also Achar, i.e., one who troubles (1 Chr. 2:7), in commemoration of his crime, which brought upon him an awful destruction (Josh. 7:1). On the occasion of the fall of Jericho, he seized, contrary to the divine command, an ingot of gold, a quantity of silver, and a costly Babylonish garment, which he hid in his tent. Joshua was convinced that the defeat which the Israelites afterwards sustained before Ai was a proof of the divine displeasure on account of some crime, and he at once adopted means by the use of the lot for discovering the criminal. It was then found that Achan was guilty, and he was stoned to death in the valley of Achor. He and all that belonged to him were then consumed by fire, and a heap of stones was raised over the ashes.	HDBN or Achar	SBD (troubler ), an Israelite of the tribe of Judah, who, when Jericho and all that it contained were accursed and devoted to destruction, secreted a portion of the spoil in his tent. For this sin he was stoned to death with his whole family by the people, in a valley situated between Ai and Jericho, and their remains, together with his property, were burnt. ( Joshua 7:19-26 ) From this event the valley received the name of Achor (i.e. trouble ). [ACHOR] (B.C. 1450.)
亞干	AKAN	代表創36:27 代下1:42	ISBE a-kan (`aqan, "twisted"): A son of Ezer, a descendant of Esau of Seir (Gen 36:27). He is called Jaakan in 1 Ch 1:42. The King James Version margin has Jakan.			SBD (sharp sighted ), son of Ezer, one of the "dukes" or chieftains of the Horites, and descendant of Seir. ( Genesis 36:27 ) He is called JAKAN in ( 1 Chronicles 1:42 )
亞底	ADDI	代表路3:28	ISBE ad-i (Addi; Addei): An ancestor of Joseph, the husband of Mary, mother of Jesus; fourth from Zerubbabel in the ascending genealogical series (Lk 3:28).	Easton ornament, (Luke 3:28), the son of Cosam, and father of Melchi, one of the progenitors of Christ.	HDBN my witness; adorned; prey	SBD (ornament ). ( Luke 3:28 ) Son of Cosam, and father of Melchi in our Lords genealogy; the third above Salathiel.
亞底挪	ADINO	代表代上4:36 代上9:12 代上27:25	ISBE ad-i-no, a-di-no (`adhino, "his adorned one"): The senior of Davids "mighty men." "Josheb-basshebeth a Tahchemonite, chief of the captains; the same was Adino the Eznite, against eight hundred slain at one time" (2 Sam 23:8). This very exact rendering makes it evident even to an English reader that the text is imperfect. Ginsburg offers a corrected form taken substantially from the parallel passage in 1 Ch 11:11: "Jashobeam a son of a Hachmonite, chief of the captains; he lifted up his spear." This is plausible, and is very generally accepted, and eliminates the names Adino and Eznite, which do not occur elsewhere in the Bible. Some of the facts are against this. The Septuagint has the names Adino and Eznite. The Latin finds no proper names in the passage, but so translates the words as to presuppose the Hebrew text as we have it. It may be a case for suspended judgment. The texts concerning Davids mighty men are fragmentary both in Samuel and in Chronicles. If they were more complete they would perhaps make it clear that the three seniors were comrades of David at Pas-dammim, Ephes-dammim (1 Ch 11:13; 1 Sam 17:1); and that we have in them additional details concerning that battle. The record says that on the death of Goliath the Philistines fled and the Israelites pursued (1 Sam 17:52 ff), but it is not improbable that during the retreat portions of the Philistine force rallied, so that there was strenuous fighting. Willis J. Beecher	Easton the Eznite, one of David's mighty men (2 Sam. 23:8). (See JASHOBEAM		SBD or Adino, the Eznite. ( 2 Samuel 23:8 ) See JASHOBEAM.

亞得	ADER	代表代上8:15 代上8:16	ISBE a-der: Used in 1 Ch 8:15 the King James Version for EDER, which see.			SBD (flock ), a Benjamites, son of Beriah, chief of the inhabitants of Aijalon. ( 1 Chronicles 8:15 ) The name is more correctly Eder.
亞得列	ADRIEL	代表撒上18:19 撒下21:8	ISBE a-dri-el (`adhriel, "my help is God"): The son of Barzillai the Meholathite, to whom Merab the daughter of King Saul was married when she should have been given to David (1 Sam 18:19; 2 Sam 21:8). "Michal" in 2 Sam 21:8 is a textual error easily accounted for Adriel and Merab had five sons, whom David handed over to the blood vengeance of the men of Gibeon. The name Adriel seems to be Aramaic, the equivalent of the Hebrew name Azriel.	Easton flock of God, the son of Barzillai, the Meholathite, to whom Saul gave in marriage his daughter Merab (1 Sam. 18:19). The five sons that sprang from this union were put to death by the Gibeonites (2 Sam. 21:8, 9. Here it is said that Michal "brought up" [R.V., "bare"] these five sons, either that she treated them as if she had been their own mother, or that for "Michal" we should read "Merab," as in 1 Sam. 18:19).	HDBN the flock of God
亞得米勒	ADRAMMELECH	代表王下19:37		Easton Adar the king. (1.) An idol; a form of the sun-god worshipped by the inhabitants of Sepharvaim (2 Kings 17:31), and brought by the Sepharvite colonists into Samaria. (2.) A son of Sennacherib, king of Assyria (2 Kings 19:37; Isa. 37:38).	HDBN the cloak	SBD (splendor of the king ). The name of an idol introduced into Samaria by the colonists from Sepharvaim. ( 2 Kings 17:31 ) He was worshipped with rites resembling those of Molech, children being burnt in his honor. Adrammelech was probably the male power of the sun, and ANAMMELECH, who is mentioned with Adrammelech as a companion god, the female power of the sun. Son of the Assyrian king Sennacherib, who, with his brother Sharezer, murdered their father in the temple of Nisroch at Nineveh, after the failure of the Assyrian attack on Jerusalem. The parricides escaped into Armenia. ( 2 Kings 19:37 ; 2 Chronicles 32:21 ; Isaiah 37:38 )
亞德別	ADBEEL	代表代上1:29	ISBE ad-be-el (adhbeel, "Gods discipline," possibly): The third of the twelve sons of Ishmael (Gen 25:13; 1 Ch 1:29). The name appears in the Assyrian records as that of a north Arabian tribe residing somewhere Southwest of the Dead Sea.
