Abihud

There are two biblical characters named Abihud.

  • One of the sons of Bela, the son of Benjamin; called also Ahihud (1 Chronicles 8:3,7).
  • A son or grandson of Zerubbabel, and member of the Davidic line. Abihud was the father of Eliakim (Matthew 1:13, "Abiud"), and possibly the same as Obadiah (1 Chronicles 3:21).
