[Easton 한국어 번역] 나의 아버지는 왕, 또는 왕의 아버지. 애굽 왕들에게 “바로”라는 이름이 사용되었던 것처럼, 블레셋 왕들에게 흔히 쓰이던 이름이다. (1.) 아브라함 시대 그랄의 블레셋 왕(창 20:1–18). 하나님의 섭리적 개입으로 사라는 그의 후궁에서 벗어나 남편 아브라함에게 돌아갔다. 그는 존경의 표시로 아브라함에게 값진 선물을 주고 자기 나라의 어느 곳에든 정착할 수 있도록 제안하였다. 동시에 그는 아브라함이 사라를 단지 자기 누이라고 하여 자신을 속인 일에 대하여 정중하면서도 엄중하게 책망하였다. 왕이 준 선물 가운데는 사라를 위한 “눈을 가리우는” 것으로 은 천 개가 있었다. 곧 이것은 잘못을 보상하는 예물이자 모든 사람 앞에서 그녀의 결백을 증언하는 것이었거나, 아니면 오히려 사라가 자신의 아름다움을 가릴 수 있도록 너울을 마련해 주려는 목적이었을 것이다. 후자의 경우에는, 결혼한 여인으로서 마땅히 써야 할 너울을 쓰지 않은 그녀를 책망하는 것이 된다. 그로부터 몇 해 뒤 아비멜렉은 자기 영토를 넘어 남쪽으로 옮겨 간 아브라함을 방문하여, 그곳에서 그와 평화와 우호의 언약을 맺었다. 이 언약은 기록으로 전해지는 최초의 언약이었다. 그것은 브엘세바에서 상호 맹세로 확증되었다(창 21:22–34). (2.) 이삭 시대의 그랄 왕으로, 아마도 앞서 말한 왕의 아들이었을 것이다(창 26:1–22). 이삭은 기근 중에 그의 영토로 피신하였으며, 그곳에서 자기 아내 리브가에 관하여 아버지 아브라함이 사라에 관하여 했던 것과 비슷한 행동을 하였다. 아비멜렉은 우연히 그 속임수를 알아내고 이삭을 책망하였다. 이삭은 한동안 이곳에 정착하여 번성하였다. 그러나 아비멜렉은 그에게 자기 영토를 떠나 달라고 하였고, 이삭은 그렇게 하였다. 아비멜렉은 후에 이삭이 브엘세바에 장막을 치고 있을 때 그를 방문하여, 그들의 아버지들 사이에 맺어진 언약을 새롭게 맺고 싶다는 뜻을 밝혔다(창 26:26–31). (3.) 기드온의 아들로(삿 9:1), 아버지가 죽은 뒤 왕으로 추대되었다(삿 8:33–9:6). 그가 처음 행한 일 가운데 하나는 오브라에서 자기 형제 칠십 명을 “한 반석 위에서” 죽인 것이었다. 요담이라는 한 사람만 피하였다. 그는 원칙이 없고 야심에 찬 통치자로, 자기 백성과 자주 전쟁을 벌였다. 반란을 일으킨 데베스 성읍을 진압하던 중, 한 여인이 위쪽 성벽에서 손으로 던진 맷돌에 머리를 맞아 치명상을 입었다. 상처가 치명적임을 깨달은 그는 여인의 손에 죽었다는 말을 듣지 않으려고, 자기의 병기 든 자에게 칼로 자신을 찌르라고 하였다(삿 9:50–57). (4.) 아비아달의 아들로, 다윗 시대의 대제사장(대상 18:16). 병행 구절인 사무엘하 8:17에는 아히멜렉이라는 이름과 아히멜렉의 아들 아비아달이 나온다. 대부분의 권위자들은 이쪽을 더 정확한 본문으로 여긴다. (5.) 시편 34편의 표제에 나오는 가드 왕 아기스. (삼상 21:10–15 비교.)

[Easton] My father a king, or father of a king, a common name of the Philistine kings, as “Pharaoh” was of the Egyptian kings. (1.) The Philistine king of Gerar in the time of Abraham (Gen. 20:1-18). By an interposition of Providence, Sarah was delivered from his harem, and was restored to her husband Abraham. As a mark of respect he gave to Abraham valuable gifts, and offered him a settlement in any part of his country; while at the same time he delicately and yet severely rebuked him for having practised a deception upon him in pretending that Sarah was only his sister. Among the gifts presented by the king were a thousand pieces of silver as a “covering of the eyes” for Sarah; i.e., either as an atoning gift and a testimony of her innocence in the sight of all, or rather for the purpose of procuring a veil for Sarah to conceal her beauty, and thus as a reproof to her for not having worn a veil which, as a married woman, she ought to have done. A few years after this Abimelech visited Abraham, who had removed southward beyond his territory, and there entered into a league of peace and friendship with him. This league was the first of which we have any record. It was confirmed by a mutual oath at Beer-sheba (Gen. 21:22-34). (2.) A king of Gerar in the time of Isaac, probably the son of the preceeding (Gen. 26:1-22). Isaac sought refuge in his territory during a famine, and there he acted a part with reference to his wife Rebekah similar to that of his father Abraham with reference to Sarah. Abimelech rebuked him for the deception, which he accidentally discovered. Isaac settled for a while here, and prospered. Abimelech desired him, however, to leave his territory, which Isaac did. Abimelech afterwards visited him when he was encamped at Beer-sheba, and expressed a desire to renew the covenant which had been entered into between their fathers (Gen. 26:26-31). (3.) A son of Gideon (Judg. 9:1), who was proclaimed king after the death of his father (Judg. 8:33-9:6). One of his first acts was to murder his brothers, seventy in number, “on one stone,” at Ophrah. Only one named Jotham escaped. He was an unprincipled, ambitious ruler, often engaged in war with his own subjects. When engaged in reducing the town of Thebez, which had revolted, he was struck mortally on his head by a mill-stone, thrown by the hand of a woman from the wall above. Perceiving that the wound was mortal, he desired his armour-bearer to thrust him through with his sword, that it might not be said he had perished by the hand of a woman (Judg. 9:50-57). (4.) The son of Abiathar, and high priest in the time of David (1 Chr. 18:16). In the parallel passage, 2 Sam. 8:17, we have the name Ahimelech, and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech. This most authorities consider the more correct reading. (5.) Achish, king of Gath, in the title of Ps. 34. (Comp. 1 Sam. 21:10-15.) [Smith] (father of the king), the name of several Philistine kings, was probably a common title of these kings, like that of Pharaoh among the Egyptians and that of Caesar and Augustus among the Romans. Hence in the title of (Psalms 34:1) ... the name of Abimelech is given to the king, who is called Achish in (1 Samuel 21:11) A Philistine, king of Gerar, Genesis 20,21, who, exercising the right claimed by Eastern princes of collecting all the beautiful women of their dominions into their harem, (Genesis 12:15; Esther 2:3) sent for and took Sarah. A similar account is given of Abraham’s conduct of this occasion to that of his behavior towards Pharaoh. [Abraham] (B.C. 1920.) Another king of Gerar int he time of Isaac, of whom a similar narrative is recorded in relation to Rebekah. (Genesis 26:1) etc. (B.C. 1817.) Son of the judge Gideon by his Shechemite concubine. (Judges 8:31) (B.C. 1322-1319.) After his father’s death he murdered all his brethren, 70 in number, with the exception of Jotham, the youngest, who concealed himself; and he then persuaded the Shechemites to elect him king. Shechem now became an independent state. After Abimelech had reigned three years, the citizens of Shechem rebelled. He was absent at the time, but he returned and quelled the insurrection. Shortly after he stormed and took Thebez, but was struck on the head by a woman with the fragment of a millstone, comp. (2 Samuel 11:21) and lest he should be said to have died by a woman, he bade his armor-bearer slay him. A son of Abiathar. (1 Chronicles 18:16) [Hitchcock] father of the king [Nave] –1. King of Gerar Ge 20 ; 21:22-32 –2. King of Gerar Ge 26 –3. Son of Gideon Jud 8:31 ; 9 ; 2Sa 11:21 –4. ABIMELECH .See ACHISH .See AHIMELECH [STEPBible TIPNR] A Judge living before Israel's Monarchy, first mentioned at Jdg.8.31) only referred to as Abimelech (אֲבִימֶ֫לֶךְ); son of Gideon; a brother of Jether and Jotham. [Theographic] A son of Gideon (Judg. 9:1), who was proclaimed king after the death of his father (Judg. 8:33-9:6). One of his first acts was to murder his brothers, seventy in number, “on one stone,” at Ophrah. Only one named Jotham escaped. He was an unprincipled, ambitious ruler, often engaged in war with his own subjects. When engaged in reducing the town of Thebez, which had revolted, he was struck mortally on his head by a mill-stone, thrown by the hand of a woman from the wall above. Perceiving that the wound was mortal, he desired his armour-bearer to thrust him through with his sword, that it might not be said he had perished by the hand of a woman (Judg. 9:50-57).
