Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper name Kimham in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew personal name.

Usage: Kimham is a personal name found in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with a man who was favored by King David and is mentioned in the context of David's return to Jerusalem after the rebellion of Absalom.

Cultural and Historical Background: Kimham is mentioned in the context of the narrative of King David's life, specifically during the period of his return to power after the revolt led by his son Absalom. The name appears in a passage where David is interacting with Barzillai the Gileadite, a wealthy and loyal supporter who provided for David during his time of need. As a gesture of gratitude, David offers to take care of Barzillai in Jerusalem, but Barzillai declines due to his old age and instead suggests that Kimham, presumably his son or a close relative, go in his place.
