His name appears in the Old Testament, specifically in the First Book of Chronicles. The name "Idbash" is of Hebrew origin, and while its exact meaning is not definitively known, it is often associated with the idea of "stout" or "strong."<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>Idbash is mentioned in <a href="/1_chronicles/4-3.htm">1 Chronicles 4:3</a>, which states: "These were the sons of Etam: Jezreel, Ishma, and Idbash. Their sister was named Hazzelelponi." <br><br><b>Genealogical Context:</b><br><br>Idbash is listed as one of the sons of Etam, a descendant of Judah. The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the lineage and tribal affiliations of the Israelites, particularly focusing on the tribe of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended. The mention of Idbash, though brief, contributes to the broader tapestry of Judah's descendants, highlighting the importance of family lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative.<br><br><b>Cultural and Historical Significance:</b><br><br>The genealogies in Chronicles, including the mention of Idbash, reflect the chronicler's intent to affirm the continuity and faithfulness of God's promises to His people. By documenting the descendants of Judah, the chronicler underscores the fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the establishment of the Davidic line, which is central to the messianic hope in Christian theology.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>From a theological perspective, the inclusion of figures like Idbash in the genealogical records serves as a reminder of God's providence and the unfolding of His divine plan through history. Each name, though sometimes obscure, represents a link in the chain of God's redemptive work. The genealogies emphasize the importance of every individual in the community of faith and the role they play in the larger account of God's people.<br><br><b>Related Figures:</b><br><br>· <b>Etam:</b> The father of Idbash, mentioned alongside his sons Jezreel and Ishma. The name Etam is also associated with a location in Judah, which may indicate a familial or territorial connection.<br>· <b>Jezreel and Ishma:</b> Brothers of Idbash, also listed in the genealogical records of Judah.<br>· <b>Hazzelelponi:</b> The sister of Idbash, whose inclusion in the genealogy is notable, as women are less frequently mentioned in such records, highlighting her potential significance or the prominence of her family.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>While Idbash is a relatively minor figure in the biblical narrative, his mention in the genealogies of Judah underscores the importance of lineage and the fulfillment of God's promises through the generations. His inclusion in the sacred text serves as a testament to the intricate and purposeful design of God's plan for His people.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Idbash</span><p>flowing with honey; the land of destruction<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Idbash</span><p>(<i>stout</i>), one of the three sons of Abi-Etam, among the families of Judah.
