The name Ammihud means "my kinsman is majesty" or "people of glory," reflecting a heritage of honor and distinction within the tribes of Israel.<br><br>1. <b>Ammihud, Father of Elishama</b>: Ammihud is first introduced as the father of Elishama, the leader of the tribe of Ephraim during the wilderness journey of the Israelites. In <a href="/numbers/1-10.htm">Numbers 1:10</a>, the Berean Standard Bible states, "from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud; from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur." Elishama played a significant role as a leader and was responsible for the census and organization of his tribe.<br><br>2. <b>Ammihud, Father of Shemuel</b>: Another mention of Ammihud is as the father of Shemuel, a leader from the tribe of Simeon. In <a href="/numbers/34-20.htm">Numbers 34:20</a>, the BSB records, "from the tribe of Simeon, Shemuel son of Ammihud." Shemuel was appointed as one of the leaders to oversee the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel, highlighting Ammihud's lineage as one of leadership and responsibility.<br><br>3. <b>Ammihud, Father of Pedahel</b>: In <a href="/numbers/34-28.htm">Numbers 34:28</a>, Ammihud is noted as the father of Pedahel, a leader from the tribe of Naphtali. The verse states, "from the tribe of Naphtali, Pedahel son of Ammihud." Like Shemuel, Pedahel was also involved in the distribution of the land, further emphasizing the prominence of Ammihud's descendants in the governance and organization of the Israelite community.<br><br>4. <b>Ammihud, Father of Talmai</b>: In <a href="/1_chronicles/9-4.htm">1 Chronicles 9:4</a>, Ammihud is mentioned as the father of Talmai, a descendant of Perez, the son of Judah. The passage reads, "Uthai son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, from the descendants of Perez son of Judah." This reference places Ammihud within the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah, indicating his connection to the royal lineage of David.<br><br>Ammihud's repeated mention as the father of various tribal leaders underscores his significance in the biblical narrative. His descendants were entrusted with critical roles in the leadership and administration of the Israelite tribes, reflecting a legacy of influence and authority. The name Ammihud, with its connotations of majesty and glory, is fitting for a figure whose lineage contributed to the shaping of Israel's history and governance.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ammihud</span><p>people of praise<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Ammihud</span><p>(<i>people of praise</i>). <ol> <li>An Ephraimite father of Elishama, the chief of the tribe at the time of the Exodus.
