Strong's Lexicon Achab: Ahab Original Word: אַחְאָב Word Origin: Derived from אָח (ach, meaning "brother") and אָב (av, meaning "father"), thus "brother of the father" or "father's brother." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Ahab in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as Ahab is a Hebrew name. However, references to Ahab in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) use the transliteration Αχααβ (Achaab). Usage: Ahab is primarily known as the seventh king of Israel, son of Omri, and husband of Jezebel. His reign is marked by significant idolatry and apostasy, as he led Israel into the worship of Baal, influenced by his wife Jezebel. Ahab's account is a cautionary tale of the dangers of turning away from the worship of Yahweh to follow false gods. Cultural and Historical Background: Ahab reigned over the northern kingdom of Israel during the 9th century BC. His marriage to Jezebel, a Phoenician princess, was politically advantageous but spiritually disastrous, as it introduced and entrenched Baal worship in Israel. Ahab's reign was characterized by conflict with the prophets of Yahweh, most notably Elijah, and military engagements with neighboring nations, including the Arameans.
