Ahuzzath
VIEW:51 DATA:01-04-2020
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.

a-huz?ath (אחזּת, 'ăḥuzzath, ?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).
