“the king’s friend” or favorite) of Abimelech’ (q.v.) II, king of Gerar, who attended him on his visit to Isaac (Gen 26:26), B.C. cir. 1985.<\/p>\n
“Friend” (oriental kings have usually such favorites) of the Philistine king Abimelech in his interview with Isaac (Gen 26:28). Jerome and the Chaldee Targum explains “a company of friends.” The ending -ath appears in other Philistine names, Gath, Goliath, Timnath.<\/p>\n
AHUZZATH.The friend of Abimelech, the Philistine of Gerar, mentioned on the occasion when the latter made a league with Isaac at Beersheba (Gen 26:26). The position of kings friend may possibly have been an official one, and the title a technical one (cf. 1Ki 4:5, 1Ch 27:33). The rendering of the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] gives a different conception, that of pronubus, or friend of the bridegroom.<\/p>\n
a-huzath (, ‘ahuzzath, possession): A friend perhaps a minister, of Abimelech, king of Gerar. He together with Phicol, commander of the army, accompanied their sovereign to Beersheba to make a covenant with Isaac (Gen 26:26). The termination -ath reminds us of Philistine proper names, such as Gath, Goliath, etc. Compare Genubath (1Ki 11:20).<\/p>\n
