NASB Translation
Abitub (1).

אֲבִיטוּב proper name, masculine (my father is goodness) son of Shaharaim, a Benjamite 1 Chronicles 8:11.

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אָב (av, meaning "father") and טוּב (tub, meaning "goodness" or "good").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Abitub, as it is a specific proper noun unique to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of "goodness" can be related to Greek words such as ἀγαθός (agathos, Strong's Greek 18), meaning "good" or "beneficial," which captures a similar essence of the Hebrew טוּב (tub).

Usage: Abitub is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Abitub is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. He is listed as one of the sons of Shaharaim and Hushim. The name appears in the context of the genealogies that trace the lineage and family connections of the tribes of Israel. Specifically, Abitub is noted in 1 Chronicles 8:11, which provides insight into the familial structures and heritage of the Benjamite clan. The name itself, meaning "my father is goodness," reflects a common practice in Hebrew culture of embedding theological or moral significance within personal names, often indicating a familial or divine attribute.
