| <p> <strong> [[Ahuzzath]] </strong> . ‘The friend’ of Abimelech, the [[Philistine]] of Gerar, mentioned on the occasion when the latter made a league with Isaac at [[Beersheba]] ( [[Genesis]] 26:26 ). The position of ‘king’s friend’ may possibly have been an official one, and the title a technical one (cf. 1 Kings 4:5 , 1 Chronicles 27:33 ). The rendering of the LXX [Note: Septuagint.] gives a different conception, that of ‘pronubus,’ or friend of the bridegroom. </p>

He together with Phicol, commander of the army, accompanied their sovereign to [[Beersheba]] to make a covenant with Isaac ( Genesis 26:26 ). The termination "- <i> ath </i> " reminds us of [[Philistine]] proper names, such as Gath, Goliath, etc. Compare [[Genubath]] ( 1 Kings 11:20 ). </p> |
