Strong's Lexicon Tsiba: Ziba Original Word: צִיבָא Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "to station" or "to set up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Ziba, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Ziba is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, primarily known as the servant of Saul's household who later serves Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan. The name is associated with themes of loyalty, service, and the complexities of human character. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, servants or stewards like Ziba held significant responsibilities, often managing estates and acting as intermediaries between their masters and the outside world. Ziba's role reflects the hierarchical and patronage systems prevalent in ancient Israelite society, where loyalty to one's master was paramount, yet personal ambition could lead to complex interpersonal dynamics.
