Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name Ammihud in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates Hebrew names into Greek, often preserving their phonetic sounds rather than translating their meanings.

Usage: Ammihud is used as a proper noun, specifically a personal name, in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of several individuals, primarily noted as fathers of significant figures in Israel's history.

Context: • Ammihud is a name mentioned several times in the Old Testament, associated with different individuals:
• Ammihud, father of Elishama: Elishama was a leader of the tribe of Ephraim during the wilderness journey of the Israelites. He is mentioned in the context of the census and the arrangement of the camp (Numbers 1:10, 2:18, 7:48, 10:22).
• Ammihud, father of Shemuel: Shemuel was a leader from the tribe of Simeon, appointed to help divide the land of Canaan among the tribes (Numbers 34:20).
• Ammihud, father of Pedahel: Pedahel was a leader from the tribe of Naphtali, also involved in the division of the land (Numbers 34:28).
• Ammihud, father of Talmai: Talmai was a king of Geshur, whose daughter Maacah became a wife of King David and mother of Absalom (1 Chronicles 3:2).
• Ammihud, father of Uthai: Uthai was a descendant of Judah, mentioned in the genealogies of the post-exilic community (1 Chronicles 9:4).
