Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Haggith in the Septuagint or the New Testament, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of the circumstances of a person's birth or the aspirations of the parents. Haggith, as a wife of King David, would have been part of the royal household during a time when the kingdom of Israel was being established and expanded. Her son, Adonijah, played a significant role in the succession narrative of David's throne.
