It is used as a proper noun to refer to the prophet Habakkuk, who is the author of the Book of Habakkuk in the Old Testament. The name may imply a sense of comfort or support, as one who embraces another.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Habakkuk was a prophet in the Kingdom of Judah, likely during the late 7th century BC, a time of great turmoil and impending judgment. The Assyrian Empire was declining, and the Babylonian Empire was rising to power. Habakkuk's ministry occurred during a period of moral and spiritual decline in Judah, and his prophecies address the coming Babylonian invasion and the justice of God. The Book of Habakkuk is unique in its format, as it is structured as a dialogue between the prophet and God, reflecting Habakkuk's deep wrestling with the problem of evil and divine justice.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2263.htm">chabaq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a Heb. prophet<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Habakkuk (2).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">חֲבַקּוּק</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>the prophet Habakkuk</b></font> <a href="/interlinear/habakkuk/1-1.htm">Habakkuk 1:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/habakkuk/3-1.htm">Habakkuk 3:1</a>; <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ἀμβακουμ</font> (Assyrian <i><em>—amba‡û‡u</em></i> is name of a plant, Dl<sup>HA 36, Pr 84</sup>, so <img src="/bdbgif/bdb028709.gif"> in Yemen (Schweinfurth) see Hom<sup>Aufsätze u.
