He appears in the New Testament in the Gospel of Matthew.<br><br><b>Scriptural Citations:</b><br><br>1. <b><a href="/matthew/1-13.htm">Matthew 1:13</a> :</b> "Zerubbabel the father of Abihud, Abihud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor."<br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b> Abihud is listed in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded by Matthew. This genealogy traces the legal lineage of Jesus through Joseph, His earthly father, and is significant for establishing Jesus' rightful place in the line of David, fulfilling Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah's descent.<br><br><b>Historical Context:</b> The genealogy in Matthew is structured to emphasize Jesus' royal lineage, connecting Him to key figures in Jewish history, such as Abraham and King David. Abihud's placement in this genealogy highlights the continuity of God's covenant promises through generations.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> The inclusion of Abihud in the genealogy of Jesus underscores the fulfillment of God's promises and the divine orchestration of history leading to the birth of the Messiah. Each name in the genealogy, including Abihud, represents a link in the chain of God's redemptive plan.<br><br><b>Cultural and Religious Context:</b> Genealogies in Jewish culture were crucial for establishing identity, inheritance rights, and tribal affiliations. They served as a record of God's faithfulness to His people and were often used to validate claims to leadership or priesthood.<br><br><b>Related Figures:</b> Abihud is connected to Zerubbabel, a significant post-exilic leader who played a crucial role in the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem. This connection further emphasizes the theme of restoration and hope in the genealogy of Jesus.<br><br><b>Additional Notes:</b> The genealogy in Matthew is one of two genealogies of Jesus found in the New Testament, the other being in the Gospel of Luke. While Matthew's genealogy traces Jesus' legal lineage through Joseph, Luke's genealogy is believed to trace His biological lineage through Mary, offering a comprehensive view of Jesus' heritage.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Abihud</span><p>father of praise; confession<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Abihud</span><p>(<i>father of renown, famous</i>), son of Bela and grandson of Benjamin.
