Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper name Shinab, as it is specific to the Hebrew text and context. Usage: Shinab is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a king of Admah, one of the cities of the plain mentioned in the context of the battle of the kings in Genesis 14. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, city-states were often ruled by kings who wielded significant local power. Admah was one of the five cities of the plain, alongside Sodom, Gomorrah, Zeboiim, and Bela (Zoar), which were known for their eventual destruction due to their wickedness. The battle of the kings in Genesis 14 is one of the earliest recorded military alliances and conflicts in the Bible, illustrating the political dynamics of the region.
