Usage: The name Abital means "my father is dew" or "father of dew." In the context of the Bible, it is used as a personal name for one of King David's wives. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of personal characteristics, divine attributes, or familial connections. Dew in the Hebrew Bible is often associated with blessing, fertility, and divine favor, which may suggest that the name Abital carries connotations of blessing or divine provision.
