Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Asahel
Pronunciation: ah-sah-HEL
Phonetic Spelling: (as-aw-ale')
Definition: Asahel
Meaning: Asahel

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots עָשָׂה (ʿasah, meaning "to do" or "to make") and אֵל (ʾel, meaning "God"), thus "God has made" or "God has created."

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

Usage: Asahel is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "God has made." It is used to refer to a notable individual in the narrative of King David's reign.

Cultural and Historical Background: Asahel was one of the sons of Zeruiah, David's sister, making him David's nephew. He was known for his swiftness and was one of David's mighty warriors. Asahel's role in the military and his familial connection to David highlight the importance of kinship and loyalty in the socio-political structure of ancient Israel. His account is set during the turbulent period of David's rise to power and the subsequent consolidation of his kingdom.
