His name appears in the New Testament, specifically in the context of the lineage that traces the ancestry of Jesus, highlighting the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies regarding the Messiah's descent.<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b><br><br>· <b><a href="/matthew/1-13.htm">Matthew 1:13</a> :</b> "Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor."<br><br>Abiud is listed as a descendant of Zerubbabel, a significant post-exilic leader who played a crucial role in the rebuilding of the Temple in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. The genealogy in Matthew serves to establish Jesus' legal right to the throne of David, underscoring His messianic credentials.<br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b><br><br>Abiud's placement in the genealogy is part of the third set of fourteen generations outlined in <a href="/bsb/matthew/1.htm">Matthew 1</a>, which spans from the Babylonian exile to the birth of Jesus. This structured genealogy is designed to demonstrate the divine orchestration of history leading to the advent of the Messiah.<br><br><b>Name Meaning:</b><br><br>The name "Abiud" is of Hebrew origin, and it is generally understood to mean "my father is majesty" or "father of praise." This reflects a common practice in Hebrew culture where names often carried significant meanings or were indicative of familial or divine attributes.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Significance:</b><br><br>While Abiud himself is not a prominent figure in biblical narratives, his inclusion in the genealogy of Jesus highlights the continuity of God's covenantal promises through generations. The genealogy in Matthew emphasizes the legal and royal lineage of Jesus, affirming His rightful place as the promised King and Savior.<br><br>Abiud's mention in the genealogy serves as a reminder of the faithfulness of God in preserving the line of David, despite the challenges and disruptions faced by the Jewish people throughout history. His presence in the genealogy underscores the theme of divine providence and the unfolding of God's redemptive plan through seemingly ordinary individuals.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Abiud</span><p>father of praise<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Abiud</span><p>(<i>father of praise</i>), descendant of Zorobabel in the genealogy of Jesus Christ.
