Bible Person

Ahimaaz

Meaning: a brother of the council · Male · 1 cross reference

This Ahimaaz entry refers to the father of Saul's wife Ahinoam, not to the later runner in David's court or the officer married into Solomon's house. He belongs to the family background of Israel's first royal household. First appears in 1 Sam 14:50.1

AI summary: This Ahimaaz matters because his single cross reference places his household in the maternal line of Saul's family. Even a brief notice helps root the first monarchy in remembered kinship networks rather than leaving it abstract. Taken together, the material presents this Ahimaaz as a familial source within Saul's royal household.1
