The wife of Rehoboam, king of Judah, 2Ch 11:18; the “daughter” – that is here, the descendant-of Eliab, David’s brother.<\/p>\n
(Heb. Abicha’yil, , father of [i.e. endowed with] might, or perhaps leader of the song), the name of three men and two women.<\/p>\n
1. (Sept. v.) The father of Zuriel, which latter was the chief of the Levitical family of Merari at the exode (Num 3:35). B.C. ante 1657.<\/p>\n
2. (Sept. v. r. .) The wife of Abishur (of the family of Jerahmeel), and mother of Ahban and Molid (1Ch 2:29, where the name in some MSS. is Abiha’yil, , apparently by error). B.C. considerably post 1612.<\/p>\n
3. (Sept. .) The son of Huri, and one of the family chiefs of the tribe of Gad, who settled in Bashan (1Ch 5:14), B.C. between 1093 and 782.<\/p>\n
4. (Sept. v. r. v and .) The second wife of king Rehoboam, to whom she or the previous wife bore several sons (2Ch 11:18). B.C. 972. She is there called the daughter of Eliab, the son of Jesse, which must mean descendant [ SEE FATHER ], since David, the youngest of his father’s sons, was thirty years old when he began to reign, eighty years before her marriage.<\/p>\n
5. (Sept. v. r. v.) The father of Esther, and uncle of Mordecai (Est 2:15; Est 9:29;’ comp. 2:7). B.C. ante 479.<\/p>\n
father of might. (1.<\/strong>) Num. 3:35<\/span>. (2.<\/strong>) 1 Chr. 2:29<\/span>. (3.<\/strong>) 1 Chr. 5:14<\/span>.<\/p>\n (4.<\/strong>) The second wife of King Rehoboam (2 Chr. 11:18<\/span>), a descendant of Eliab, David’s eldest brother.<\/p>\n (5.<\/strong>) The father of Esther and uncle of Mordecai (Esther 2:15<\/span>).<\/p>\n (“father of splendor”.)<\/p>\n 1. Wife of Rehoboam, king of Judah, daughter, i.e. descendant of Eliab, David’s oldest brother. But Keil argues that 2Ch 11:19-20 shows that in 2Ch 11:18 only one wife is named; therefore the sense is “Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth son of David and of Abihail” (the daughter of Eliab, etc.)<\/p>\n 2. Num 3:35.<\/p>\n 3. 1Ch 2:23.<\/p>\n 4. 1Ch 5:14.<\/p>\n 5. Father of Queen Esther, and uncle of Mordecai (Est 2:15).<\/p>\n ABIHAIL (father is might).1. As the name of a man it occurs (a) in 1Ch 5:14 as that of a Gadite who dwelt in the land of Bashan. (b) It was also the name of Esthers father, the uncle of Mordecai (Est 2:15; Est 9:29).<\/p>\n 2. As the name of a woman it occurs three times: (a) 1Ch 2:29, the wife of Abishur, of the tribe of Judah; this is its only occurrence in pre-exilic writings. (b) Num 3:35, a daughter of the sons of Merari, of the tribe of Levi, the mother of Zuriel, a prince among the families of Merari. (c) 2Ch 11:18, the mother of Rehoboams wife, Mahalath, and daughter of Eliab, Davids eldest brother.<\/p>\n It is a womans name in Minan (South Arabian) inscriptions, where it occurs in the form Ili-hail.<\/p>\n W. O. E. Oesterley.<\/p>\n abi-hal (, ‘abhhayil; in some manuscripts ‘abhihayil, when feminine, but best reading is the former: father, or cause, of strength): Five persons in the Old Testament are called by this name: (1) A Levite and the father of Zuriel, who in the Wilderness was head of the house of Merari, Levi’s youngest son (Num 3:35); (2) The wife of Abishur, a man of the tribe of Judah, in the line of Hazron and Jerahmeel (1Ch 2:29); (3) One of the heads of the tribe of Gad, who dwelt in Gilead of Bashan (1Ch 5:14); (4) Either a wife of Rehoboam, king of Judah, or mother of his wife Mahalath, according to the interpretation of the text (2Ch 11:18); probably the latter view is correct, since there is no conjunction in the text, and since (2Ch 11:19) contemplates only one wife as already mentioned. This being true, she was the wife of Jerimath, a son of David, and daughter of Eliab, David’s eldest brother. It is interesting to note this frequent intermarriage in the Davidic house; (5) Father of Queen Esther, who became wife of Xerxes (Biblical Ahasuerus) king of Persia, after the removal of the former queen, Vashti, (Est 2:15; Est 9:29). He was uncle of Mordecai.<\/p>\n Abihail, 1<\/p>\n Abihail (Father of light or splendor), the wife of Rehoboam, king of Judah. She is called the daughter of Eliab, David’s elder brother (2Ch 11:18); but was doubtless only his descendant.<\/p>\n Abihail, 2<\/p>\n Abihail (Father of might, i.e. mighty). This name should be written Abichail. It was borne by several persons:<\/p>\n 1.Abichail, the son of Huri, one of the family-chiefs of the tribe of Gad, who settled in Bashan (1Ch 5:14). <\/p>\n 2.Abichail, the father of Zuriel, who was the father of the Levitical tribes of Merari (Num 3:35). <\/p>\n 3.Abichail, the father of Queen Esther, and brother of Mordecai (Est 2:15). <\/p>\n H32<\/span> <\/p>\n 1.
