Bible Person
Meaning: father of the king · Male · 1 cross reference
This Abimelech entry refers to the man named in David's rebuke to Joab through the example of the woman who killed Abimelech, rather than to the earlier judges-period ruler himself. The dataset preserves him through a backward reference in Samuel. First appears in 2 Sam 11:21.1
AI summary: This Abimelech matters because his single cross reference shows how earlier stories remained active in Israel's memory and could be invoked as cautionary precedent in later political and military discourse. Even indirectly, the name carries the weight of remembered folly and violent downfall. Taken together, the material presents this Abimelech as a remembered exemplar whose earlier fate still shapes later speech.1
