Bible Person
Meaning: high father; father of deceit · Male · 1 cross reference
Abiram is the firstborn son of Hiel whose death marks the fulfillment of Joshua's ancient word against rebuilding Jericho. He appears in a brief but theologically charged notice during Ahab's era. First appears in 1 Kgs 16:34.1
AI summary: Abiram matters because his single cross reference turns a long-ago curse into a concrete and costly fulfillment. His death shows that divine words spoken in Israel's earlier history still govern later generations, even when they are forgotten or ignored. Taken together, the material presents Abiram as the tragic first sign that Joshua's warning over Jericho remains active.1
