Strong's Lexicon Ebyathar: Abiathar Original Word: אֶבְיָתָר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אָב (av, meaning "father") and יָתַר (yathar, meaning "abundance" or "remainder"), thus meaning "father of abundance" or "my father is abundant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Abiathar in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the name appears in the New Testament in Mark 2:26, where Jesus refers to "Abiathar the high priest." Usage: Abiathar is a personal name used in the Hebrew Bible, primarily referring to a significant priest during the time of King David. The name suggests a connection to abundance or prosperity, possibly reflecting the blessings or status of the individual or his lineage. Cultural and Historical Background: Abiathar was the son of Ahimelech, the high priest at Nob, and he escaped the massacre of the priests by Saul. He fled to David and became one of his chief priests. Abiathar served during a tumultuous period in Israel's history, marked by the transition from Saul's reign to David's kingship. He was a loyal supporter of David but later sided with Adonijah against Solomon, which led to his removal from the priesthood.
