Este artículo contiene nombres de personas que aparecen en la Biblia , específicamente en la Biblia hebrea , de poca importancia, de las que se sabe poco o nada, aparte de algunas conexiones familiares. Aquí están los nombres que comienzan con AK; para LZ, consulte allí .
A
Abagta
Abagta (en hebreo אֲבַגְתָא) era un oficial de la corte o eunuco del rey Asuero a quien se le ordenó, junto con otros seis oficiales, hacer desfilar a la reina Vasti para que compareciera ante el rey. (Ester 1:10)
Abda
El nombre Abda (hebreo עַבְדָּא) significa sirviente, o quizás es una forma abreviada de sirviente de YHWH . [1] Hay dos personas con este nombre en la Biblia hebrea .
Se menciona de pasada a An Abda cuando Salomón puso a Adoniram hijo de Abda a cargo del trabajo forzado para los proyectos de construcción de Salomón (1 Reyes 4:6).
Levita de la familia de Jedutún (Nehemías 11:17), también llamado Abdías (1 Crónicas 9:16). Era hijo de Samúa y sirvió en Jerusalén bajo el mando de Nehemías . [2]
Mientras que el Texto Masorético tiene Abda, la Septuaginta , dependiendo de la ubicación y el manuscrito, tiene nombres como Abao, Ephra, Edram, Ioreb, Obeb y Abdias. [3]
El nombre Abdi (hebreo עַבְדִּי) es probablemente una abreviatura de Obediah, que significa "siervo de YHWH ", según la International Standard Bible Encyclopedia . [7] La Easton's Bible Encyclopedia , por otro lado, sostiene que significa "mi siervo". El nombre "Abdi" aparece tres veces en formas de la Biblia que se usan entre judíos, protestantes y católicos romanos. También hay una aparición adicional en 1 Esdras, considerado canónico en las iglesias ortodoxas orientales .
1 Crónicas 6:29: “Y a la izquierda sus hermanos, los hijos de Merari: Etán hijo de Cisi, hijo de Abdi, hijo de Maluc.” [8] Este versículo, en la versión King James y algunas otras Biblias, es el versículo 44 del capítulo 6.
2 Crónicas 29:12. "Entonces se levantaron los levitas: Mahat hijo de Amasai, y Joel hijo de Azarías, de los hijos de Coat; y de los hijos de Merari, Cis hijo de Abdi, y Azarías hijo de Jehalelel; y de los gersonitas, Joa hijo de Zima, y Edén hijo de Joa." [8]

Según Cheyne y Black (1899), las dos apariciones en los Libros de Crónicas se refieren a un solo individuo, y las referencias en Esdras y 1 Esdras son a un segundo individuo. [11]

Abihail era hija de Eliab, hermano de David . Se casó con Jerimot, hijo de David , y fue madre de Mahalat , esposa de Roboam . (2 Crónicas 11:18)
Abihail fue el padre de la reina Ester y tío de Mardoqueo (Ester 2:15; Ester 9:29).

Abihud (hebreo אֲבִיהֽוּד, "mi padre es majestad") [19] fue una figura mencionada en 1 Crónicas 8:3 como hijo de Bela, hijo de Benjamín . También se le llama Ahihud. Otro individuo llamado Abihud es mencionado en el Evangelio de Mateo como antepasado de Jesús . Pero este Abihud no aparece en el Antiguo Testamento .

Una esposa de Hezrón , uno de los nietos de Judá [23]

Descendiente de Eleazar , hijo de Aarón , jefe del octavo de los veinticuatro órdenes en que David dividió el sacerdocio y antepasado de Zacarías , el sacerdote que fue el padre de Juan el Bautista . [26] El orden de Abías aparece junto con los sacerdotes y levitas que regresaron con Zorobabel hijo de Salatiel y con Josué. [27]
Este nombre (posiblemente) apareció en el Calendario Gezer, una inscripción paleohebrea que data del siglo IX o X a.C., lo que lo convierte en uno de los primeros, si no el más antiguo, nombres teofóricos yahvistas fuera de la Biblia. [28]
Abimael
En Génesis 10:28, Abimael (hebreo אֲבִֽימָאֵ֖ל) es el noveno de los 13 hijos de Joctán , descendiente de Sem . También se lo menciona en 1 Crónicas 1:22. Abimael significa "Dios es un padre". [29]

Benjamita, hijo de Bela y nieto de Benjamín, fundador de la tribu de Benjamín (1 Crónicas 8:4).

Achbor (hebreo עַכְבּוֹר) es el nombre de dos personajes bíblicos.
En las listas de reyes de los libros de Génesis y 1 Crónicas, Acbor es el padre de Baal-hanán , un rey de Edom , pero en realidad no aparece como rey, aunque algunos comentarios suponen que lo fue. Véase Génesis 36:38; 1 Crónicas 1:49.
Éste puede ser el mismo Acbor que es mencionado como el padre de Elnatán (hebreo אֶלְנָתָן) en el Libro de Jeremías 26:20-23, y que vivió durante el reinado del rey Joacim de Judá .
Achsa
Acsa o Acsa (hebreo עַכְסָה), era hija de Caleb o Chelubai, hijo de Hezrón, de la tribu de Judá . (1 Crónicas 2:49 [40] ) Aunque a menudo se la identifica como Acsa, la hija de Caleb en la época de Josué . [41]
La primera esposa de Esaú , hija de Elón el hitita. Los eruditos bíblicos han sugerido que se trata de la misma persona que « Basemat, hija de Elón el hitita», mencionada como esposa de Esaú en Génesis 26. [44] [45] [46] Véase Esposas de Esaú . Ella dio a luz a Elifaz , el primogénito de Esaú , y se convirtió en la matriarca de los edomitas . ( Génesis 26:34, 36:2–4)

Levita de la tribu de Gersón , hijo de Etán y padre de Zera, lo que lo convierte en antepasado de Asaf . (1 Crónicas 6:41) En 1 Crónicas 6:21 se le llama Iddo.
Un benjamita, hijo de Simhi. (1 Crónicas 8:21) Aparentemente, es el mismo que Shemá en 1 Crónicas 8:13.
Sacerdote mencionado en 1 Crónicas 9:12 y Nehemías 11:12. Según Cheyne y Black, es posible que este mismo sacerdote aparezca en Nehemías 12:6 o 7, pero que haya sido eliminado por un error de copista que dejó el nombre " Jedaías " en su lugar. [47]
Un antepasado de Maaseías, uno de los capitanes que apoyaron a Joiada. (2 Crónicas 23:1)
Uno de los descendientes de Bani que se casó con mujeres extranjeras. (Esdras 10:29)

Ver Azareel
Adín
Adín (hebreo עָדִין) era el jefe de una familia que regresó de Babilonia con Zorobabel en Esdras 2:15 8:6. Sin embargo, según Nehemías 7:20, sus descendientes fueron 655, es decir, completamente diferentes de los descendientes de Esdras que fueron 454. También se lo encuentra en Nehemías 10:16 como uno de los que firmó el pacto de Nehemías.
Adino (hebreo עֲדִינוֹ) era un eznita y uno de los hombres valientes de David (2 Samuel 23:8). Se le identifica con Jasobeam y el nombre no aparece en otras traducciones de la Biblia . Ginsburg ofrece una forma corregida tomada sustancialmente del pasaje paralelo en 1 Crónicas 11:11: "Jasobeam hijo de un hacmonita, jefe de los capitanes; alzó su lanza". Esto es plausible, y es muy generalmente aceptado, y elimina los nombres Adino y Eznita, que no aparecen en ningún otro lugar de la Biblia. Algunos de los hechos están en contra de esto. La Septuaginta tiene los nombres Adino y Eznita. El latín no encuentra nombres propios en el pasaje, pero traduce las palabras de tal manera que presupone el texto hebreo tal como lo tenemos. Puede ser un caso para un juicio en suspenso. [49]
Adlai
Adlai en hebreo significa "refugio". En 1 Crónicas 27:29, es el padre de Safat. Se lo menciona únicamente en este versículo.
Admata
Mencionado solamente en Ester 1:14, Admata (hebreo אַדְמָ֣תָא) [50] es un consejero de Asuero de Persia . [51] Según una teoría, el versículo ha sufrido un error de copista, y como estaba originalmente, Admata era en cambio Hamdatha, no un consejero de Asuero sino el padre de Amán . [51]

Adnah (hebreo עַדְנַח), llamada Edna en la Septuaginta, se refiere a un miembro de la tribu de Manasés que abandonó a Saúl para apoyar a David . [55] [56] Su nombre se escribe con una He final o con una Heth , dependiendo del manuscrito. [55]

El nombre significa "el Señor se ha levantado". [60] En la Septuaginta, dependiendo del manuscrito y la ubicación, el nombre se da como Adon[e]ikam, Adonikan, Adeikam, Adenikam, Adaneikam o Adoniakaim.

[62] Los cinco hijos que surgieron de esta unión fueron ejecutados por los gabaonitas. (1 Samuel 18:19; 2 Samuel 21:8-9). Aquí se dice que Mical dio a luz a estos cinco hijos; o bien los trató como si hubiera sido su propia madre, o bien que en lugar de "Mical" deberíamos leer "Merab", en 1 Samuel 18:19. [63]

En la tradición rabínica, existe una tradición talmúdica que dice que cuando se menciona el nombre del padre de un profeta, el padre también era profeta, de modo que Amoz habría sido profeta como su hijo. Los rabinos del Talmud declararon, basándose en una tradición rabínica, que Amoz era el hermano de Amasías (אמציה), el rey de Judá en ese momento (y, como resultado, que el propio Isaías era miembro de la familia real). Según algunas tradiciones, Amoz es el "hombre de Dios" en 2 Crónicas 25:7-9 (Seder Olam Rabbah 20), quien advirtió a Amasías que liberara a los mercenarios israelitas que había contratado.

Ananí
Anani es un nombre que aparece en una genealogía en Crónicas . [100] Se refiere a un descendiente de Zorobabel. Según el Texto Masorético, Anani nació seis generaciones después de Zorobabel . Para los eruditos, este lapso de seis generaciones después de Zorobabel es el término a quo para la fecha de Crónicas, lo que implica que Crónicas no podría haber sido escrita antes de aproximadamente el 400 a. C. [101] En la Septuaginta , Anani aparece once generaciones después de Zorobabel. Para los eruditos que creen que la lectura de la Septuaginta para la genealogía de Anani es correcta, esto coloca la fecha más temprana posible para la escritura de Crónicas en aproximadamente el 300 a. C. [101]
Ananías
Ananías fue el padre de Maasías, el padre de Azarías, fue mencionado en el Libro de Nehemías, específicamente en Nehemías 3:23.

Anthothijah es un nombre que aparece solo una vez en la Biblia hebrea , en una sección genealógica que enumera a los descendientes de Benjamín . [102] [103] Lo más probable es que sea un adjetivo utilizado para describir a una persona de sexo femenino de la ciudad de Anathoth . [103] Los manuscritos de la Septuaginta griega dan el nombre como Anothaith, Anathothia, Athein o Anathotha. [103]

Números 26:38-40 menciona a cinco hijos de Benjamín, junto con Ard y Naamán, los hijos de Bela, el hijo mayor de Benjamín, contando a los siete como antepasados de familias benjamitas. En 1 Crónicas 8:1-3 se menciona a Adar y Naamán, junto con otros, como hijos de Bela; Adar y Ard son aparentemente el mismo nombre con las consonantes transpuestas. En Génesis 46:21 se cuentan diez hijos de Benjamín, incluyendo al menos a los tres nietos, Ard, Naamán y Gera. [110]

Asirio
Hay 2 individuos bíblicos llamados Assir :
Hijo de Coré de la casa de Leví según Éxodo 6:24, nacido en Egipto. También fue el hijo primogénito de Joaquín , rey de Judá. Quizás aquí haya suficiente ambigüedad para suponer que "Asir" es en realidad un adjetivo. El texto es demasiado vago para estar seguro... es decir, 1 Crónicas 3:17. Joaquín fue el último rey libre de Judá antes de ser llevado al cautiverio... "prisionero" podría ser un uso más descriptivo de "Asir" en lugar del nombre de un hijo. Tal vez.

Despite this close relationship to the king, Elnathan was one of those who, according to Jeremiah 36:25 opposed Jehoiakim when he cut up and burnt a scroll that had been brought to him, containing Jeremiah's prophesies of the forthcoming destruction of Judah. Elnathan's father Achbor was a strong supporter of the earlier reforms of King Josiah, which may have influenced Elnathan's behavior,[183] although according to Jeremiah 26:20–23 he had earlier been closely involved in the persecution of the prophet Uriah ben Shemaiah.

Abraham then asks them to contact Ephron son of Zohar who owns the cave of Machpelah which he is offering to buy for "the full price". Ephron slyly replies that he is prepared to give Abraham the field and the cave within, knowing that that would not result in Abraham having a permanent claim on it.[191] Abraham politely refuses the offer and insists on paying for the field.

Because the name is used to refer to a family of Judahites who descend from Judah via Ashhur, Thomas Kelly Cheyne believed that the name "Haahashtari" arose from a confusion between Ha-Ashhuri ("the Ashhurite") with the obscure term ahashtranim which appears in Esther 8:10.[206]

Habazziniah
Habazziniah or Habaziniah was either the head of a family of Rechabites (Jeremiah 35:3), or else a place name for the location that a Rechabite lived.[211] According to Cheyne and Black, it may have been a scribal error where the name "Kabzeel," a place in the territory of Judah, was originally intended."[211]

Hallohesh or Halohesh is a name which is used twice in the Bible.[218] In a list of workers building the wall of Nehemiah, a man named "Shallum son of Hallohesh" is mentioned as having a leadership role.[219] Also in the Book of Nehemiah, a person named Hallohesh is recorded as affixing his seal (an ancient form of signature) to Ezra's covenant between God and the people living around Jerusalem.[220]

Hammelech
Hammelech, in the King James Version is the name of the father of Jerahmeel (Jeremiah 36:26), and it is the name of the father of Malkijah (Jeremiah 38:6).

Harhaiah
Harhaiah, in the Masoretic Text of Nehemiah 3:8, is mentioned in passing, as being the father of Uzziel, a man responsible for the repair of part of the wall of Jerusalem. The awkward phrasing of the verse suggested to Stanley A.

The relevant part of Numbers 10:29 reads: "And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law". Reuel (or Raguel) and Jethro may have been different persons from different narratives.[264] That of Judges 4:11 reads: "Now Heber the Kenite had severed himself from the Kenites, even from the children of Hobab the brother-in-law of Moses". Moses invited Hobab to take part in the Exodus journey into the Promised Land, wanting to make use of his local knowledge, but Hobab preferred to return home to Midian (Numbers 10:29–31). Briefly, Hobab, Reuel/Raguel, and Jethro were all Moses' father-in-law,[265] due to different traditions (and possibly corruptions of the text) which were syncretized in the interpretations of later commentators.[266]

The Ketiv, the version written but not read aloud, reads somewhat differently, in a manner that suggested to Thomas Kelly Cheyne that the opening words of the verse were not the name of the giant, but words that indicated that David and his soldiers stayed in (the city of) Nob.[301] Whatever the case with the Ketiv, the Qere as it now stands asserts that Ishbi-benob was the name of a Philistine giant, who was killed by Abishai son of Zeruiah.[301][302]Gesenius interprets his name as meaning "dweller upon the height".[303] In Brenton's Septuagint Translation, his name is given as Jesbi, the progeny of Rapha.[304]

^Gunther Plaut, The Torah: A Modern Commentary, Union of American Hebrew Congregations, New York, 1981, p. 390: "Reuel. In Exodus 3:1, 4:18, and ch. 18 he is called Jether and Jethro, and in Num. 10:29 we are told of 'Hobab, son of Reuel, Moses' father-in-law.' Tradition has attempted to harmonize these differences. Ibn Ezra, for instance, says that 'father' in V. 18 really means 'grandfather,' and that Hobab is another name for Jethro. Critical scholarship considers the divergences due to different traditions; thus, Jethro appears to be an older man with grown daughters, while Hobab is a potent wilderness guide (Num. 10:29–32)... It is also possible that the text originally read Hobab, son of Reuel."
