Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Bikri in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Bikri is a patronymic name used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a descendant of Becher, one of the sons of Benjamin. The name is most notably associated with Sheba, the son of Bichri, who led a rebellion against King David. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often carried significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of one's lineage or tribal affiliation. The tribe of Benjamin, to which Bikri is connected, played a crucial role in the history of Israel, being one of the twelve tribes and the tribe of the first king, Saul. The rebellion led by Sheba, a Benjamite, highlights the ongoing political tensions and tribal dynamics within the united monarchy of Israel.
