("father of splendor".)
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.)
2. Num_3:35.
3. 1Ch_2:23.
4. 1Ch_5:14.
5. Father of Queen Esther, and uncle of Mordecai (Est_2:15).

3. Son of Huri, of the tribe of Gad. 1Ch_5:14.
4. Wife of Rehoboam. She is called the daughter, that is, descendant, of Eliab, the elder brother of David. 2Ch_11:18. (B.C. 972).

ab?i-hāl (אביחיל, 'ăbhı̄ḥayil; 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.

Abihail, 2
Abihail (Father of might, i.e. mighty). This name should be written Abichail. It was borne by several persons:

Abichail, the father of Zuriel, who was the father of the Levitical tribes of Merari (Num_3:35).

3. (Sept. Αβιχαία.) 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.
