Who Was Abihu in the Hebrew Bible?
Abihu (Hebrew: אביהו, "my father is he" or "he is my father") is a name found in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of two different individuals:
1. Abihu, the son of Bechorath, who was one of the leaders of the tribe of Simeon during the time of King David (1 Chronicles 27:20).
2. Abihu, the son of Eliab, who was one of the sons of Jesse and the brother of King David (1 Samuel 16:6-8, 17:13).
In both cases, the name Abihu is associated with a sense of family or paternal lineage, suggesting that these individuals were seen as important figures within their respective families or communities. However, there is no further information provided about either of these individuals in the Hebrew Bible, so it is difficult to say more about them with certainty.
