Este artículo incluye nombres de personas mencionadas en la Biblia , específicamente en la Biblia hebrea , de poca relevancia, de quienes se sabe poco o nada, aparte de algunos lazos familiares. Aquí están los nombres que comienzan con AK.

Abagtha
Abagtha ( en hebreo : אֲבַגְתָא ) era un funcionario de la corte o eunuco del rey persa Asuero, a quien se le ordenó, junto con otros 6 funcionarios, hacer desfilar a la reina Vasti ante el rey ( Ester 1:10 ). [ 1 ]
Abda
El nombre Abda ( hebreo: עַבְדָּא ) significa siervo , o tal vez sea una forma abreviada de siervo de YHWH . [ 2 ] Hay dos personas con este nombre en la Biblia hebrea .
- Se menciona a Abda de pasada cuando Salomón puso a Adoniram, hijo de Abda, a cargo del trabajo forzado para los proyectos de construcción de Salomón ( 1 Reyes 4 :6). [ 3 ]
- Un levita de la familia de Jedutún ( Nehemías 11:17 ), [ 4 ] también llamado Abdías ( 1 Crónicas 9:16 ). [ 5 ] Era hijo de Shammua y sirvió en Jerusalén bajo Nehemías . [ 6 ]
Donde el Texto Masorético tiene Abda , la Septuaginta , dependiendo de la ubicación y el manuscrito, tiene nombres como Abao , Ephra , Edram , Ioreb , Obeb y Abdias. [ 7 ]
Abdeel
Abdeel ( hebreo: עַבְדְּאֵל , literalmente ' siervo [de] Dios ' ; similar al árabe عبد الله , Abdullah [ 8 ] ) es mencionado en Jeremías 36:26 como el padre de Selemías , [ 9 ] uno de los tres hombres a quienes el rey Joacim ordenó capturar al profeta Jeremías y a sus secretario, Baruch ben Nerías . [ 10 ] La Septuaginta omite la frase "y Selemías hijo de Abdeel", probablemente un error de los escribas debido al homoioteleuton . [ 11 ]
Abdi
El nombre Abdi ( hebreo: עַבְדִּי ) es probablemente una abreviatura de Abdías , que significa "siervo de YHWH ", según la Enciclopedia Bíblica Estándar Internacional . [ 12 ] La Enciclopedia Bíblica de Easton , por otro lado, sostiene que significa "mi siervo". El nombre "Abdi" aparece tres veces en formas de la Biblia hebrea utilizadas entre judíos , protestantes y católicos romanos . También hay una aparición adicional en 1 Esdras , que se considera canónica en las Iglesias ortodoxas orientales :
- 1 Crónicas 6:29 : «Y a la izquierda, sus hermanos, los hijos de Merari: Etán, hijo de Cisi, hijo de Abdi, hijo de Malluc». [ 13 ] [ 14 ] En la versión King James y algunas otras traducciones cristianas de la Biblia, 1 Crónicas 6:29 aparece como el versículo 44 del capítulo 6.
- 2 Crónicas 29:12 . «Entonces se levantaron los levitas: Mahat, hijo de Amasai, y Joel, hijo de Azarías, de los hijos de Coat; y de los hijos de Merari, Cis, hijo de Abdi, y Azarías, hijo de Jehallelel; y de los gersonitas, Joa, hijo de Zimma, y Edén, hijo de Joa.» [ 13 ] [ 15 ]
- Esdras 10:26 . "Y de los hijos de Elam: Matanías, Zacarías, Jehiel, Abdi, Jeremot y Elías". [ 13 ] [ 16 ]

Según Cheyne y Black (1899), las dos apariciones en los libros de Crónicas se refieren a un solo individuo, y las referencias en el libro de Esdras y 1 Esdras se refieren a un segundo individuo. [ 20 ]

Adin
Adin (en hebreo עָדִין) era el cabeza de una familia que regresó de Babilonia con Zorobabel, según Esdras 2:15 y 8:6 . Sin embargo, según Nehemías 7:20 , sus descendientes fueron 655, una cifra completamente distinta a los 454 mencionados en Esdras. También se le encuentra en Nehemías 10:17 como uno de los firmantes del pacto de Nehemías.
Adina
En 1 Crónicas 11:42 , Adina (en hebreo עֲדִינָא, literalmente «delgada») aparece como uno de los «hombres valientes» del ejército de David . Adina era hijo de Shiza, un jefe de los rubenitas .
Adino
Adino (en hebreo עֲדִינוֹ) era un eznita y uno de los valientes de David , mencionado en 2 Samuel 23:8. Se le identifica con Jashobeam , nombre que no aparece en otras traducciones de la Biblia . Ginsburg propone una forma corregida, tomada sustancialmente del pasaje paralelo en 1 Crónicas 11:11: «Jashobeam, hijo de un hacmonita, jefe de los capitanes, alzó su lanza». Esta versión es plausible y está ampliamente aceptada, y elimina los nombres Adino y eznita, que no aparecen en ningún otro lugar de la Biblia. Sin embargo, algunos datos contradicen esta interpretación. La Septuaginta incluye los nombres Adino y eznita. La versión latina no encuentra nombres propios en el pasaje, pero traduce las palabras de tal manera que presupone el texto hebreo tal como lo conocemos. Esto podría justificar una decisión a la espera de la conclusión definitiva. [ 69 ]
Adlai
Adlai , en hebreo עַדְלָי, significa «refugio». En 1 Crónicas 27:29 , se le menciona como el padre de Safat. Solo aparece en este versículo.
Admatha
Admatha (en hebreo אַדְמָ֣תָא) es un consejero de Asuero de Persia , mencionado únicamente en Ester 1:14 . [ 70 ] Según una teoría, el versículo sufrió un error de copista, y en su forma original Admatha era en realidad Hamdatha, no un consejero de Asuero sino el padre de Amán . [ 70 ]

[ 74 ] Su nombre se escribe con una He final , a diferencia de Adna, mencionado anteriormente, cuyo nombre se escribe con una alef . [ 74 ]
- Adnah (en hebreo עַדְנַח) se encuentra en 1 Crónicas 12:20 . En la Septuaginta se le llama Edna , y se refiere a un miembro de la tribu de Manasés que abandonó a Saúl para apoyar a David . [ 74 ] Su nombre se escribe con una He final o con una Heth , según el manuscrito. [ 74 ]

[ 79 ] Los cinco hijos que nacieron de esta unión fueron ejecutados por los gabaonitas. ( 1 Samuel 18:19 ; 2 Samuel 21:8–9 ). Aquí se dice que Mical dio a luz a estos cinco hijos; ya sea que los trató como si hubiera sido su propia madre, o que en lugar de «Mical» deberíamos leer «Merab», en 1 Samuel 18:19 . [ 80 ]
Edad
Agee (en hebreo אָגֵא) fue el padre de Shammah , uno de los valientes de David ( 2 Samuel 23:11 ). Según las interpretaciones de 1 Crónicas 11:34 y 2 Samuel 23:32-33, Agee era el abuelo de Jonatán o su hermano. Según Cheyne y Black, su nombre es un error de escriba y debería ser "Ela"; es el mismo Ela mencionado en 1 Reyes 4:18 . [ 81 ]

Amoz / ˈ eɪ m ɒ z / ( hebreo : אָמוֹץ , moderno : ʼAmōṣ , tiberiano : ʼĀmōṣ ), también conocido como Amotz , [ 129 ] fue el padre del profeta Isaías , mencionado en Isaías 1:1; 2:1 y 13:1, y en 2 Reyes 19:2, 20; 20:1. La palabra "amoz" significa fuerte.
En la tradición rabínica , existe una tradición talmúdica que afirma que cuando se menciona el nombre del padre de un profeta, este también era profeta, por lo que Amoz habría sido profeta como su hijo. Los rabinos del Talmud declararon, basándose en una tradición rabínica, que Amoz era hermano de Amasías (אמציה), rey de Judá en aquel entonces (y, por consiguiente, que el propio Isaías pertenecía a la familia real). Según algunas tradiciones, Amoz es el "hombre de Dios" mencionado en 2 Crónicas 25:7-9 (Seder Olam Rabbah 20), quien advirtió a Amasías que liberara a los mercenarios israelitas que había contratado.
Amram
Amram es un individuo menor que fue uno de los hijos de Bani que se casó con una esposa extranjera en Esdras 10:34 .

Amzi ('am-tsee') es un nombre hebreo masculino que significa "mi fuerza" o "fuerte". Dos personas con este nombre se mencionan en la Biblia:

Anamim ( en hebreo : עֲנָמִים , 'Ănāmīm ) es, según la Biblia , o bien un hijo de Mizraim, hijo de Cam , o bien el nombre de un pueblo descendiente de él. El erudito bíblico Donald E. Gowan describe su identidad como «completamente desconocida». [ 134 ]

Anan
Anan fue uno de los israelitas que sellaron el pacto después del regreso de Babilonia [ 136 ] ( Nehemías 10:26 ).

Según el Texto Masorético, Anani nació seis generaciones después de Zorobabel . Para los estudiosos, este lapso de seis generaciones después de Zorobabel es el terminus a quo para la fecha de Crónicas; implica que Crónicas no pudo haber sido escrita antes de aproximadamente el 400 a. C. [ 138 ] En la Septuaginta , Anani aparece como once generaciones después de Zorobabel. Para los estudiosos que creen que la lectura de la Septuaginta para la genealogía de Anani es correcta, esto sitúa la fecha más temprana posible para la escritura de Crónicas en alrededor del 300 a. C. [ 138 ]

- The son of Shaphan, who was chosen by King Zedekiah of Judah to be one of the two messengers to take Jeremiah's letter to Nebuchadnezzar (Jeremiah 29:3) He was probably the brother of Ahikam, who had taken Jermiah's part at the time of his arrest after the temple sermon [273]
- One of the sons of Pashur who was rebuked for marrying a foreign woman (Ezra 10:18–19)
- The son of Helez, a Jerahmeelite (1 Chronicles 2:39–40). He is called "Eleasah" in the King James Bible.[274]

Elead
Elead (Hebrew: אֶלְעָד "God has testified") appears in 1 Chronicles 7:21 as the name of a man who, along with his brother Ezer, is killed by farmers near Philistine the city of Gath. It is unclear whether Elead is intended by the Chronicler as the son or a later descendant of Ephraim, and it is likewise uncertain whether this Elead is the same figure as the Eleadah mentioned in the previous verse.[275]

Eliphal
Eliphal son of Ur is listed as one of David's Mighty Warriors in 1 Chronicles 11:35. In the corresponding place in Samuel's version of the list (2 Samuel 23:34), he is called "Eliphelet son of Ahasbai the Maachathite." According to the Encyclopaedia Biblica, the name "Eliphal" (Hebrew 'lypl) is copyist's error for "Eliphelet" ('lyplt) caused by dropping the final letter in the name.[278][279]
Eliphelet
Eliphelet is a Hebrew name meaning "God is a deliverance." [278] It is the name of several figures in the Hebrew Bible, and appears under several spellings.[278][280]
- Eliphelet is the name given to a son of David in 2 Samuel 5:16, and 1 Chronicles 3:8 and 14:7. Due to a textual error, Chronicles records Eliphelet twice, as if it were the name of two different sons of David.[278]
- Eliphal, son of Ur (2 Samuel 23:34) or Ahasbai (1 Chronicles 11:35), is listed as one of David's Mighty Warriors. The Encyclopaedia Biblica claims that "Eliphal" is likely a scribal error for "Eliphelet."[278]
- Eliphal son of Eshek appears in a genealogy of the Tribe of Benjamin (1 Chronicles 8:39).
- An Eliphelet is named among the "descendants of Adonikam," one of the groups that returned with Ezra from the Babylonian captivity according to Ezra 8:13.

According to 2 Kings 24:8, Elnathan of Jerusalem was the father of Nehushta. Nehushta was the mother of KingJeconiah, whose father was King Jehoiakim. Despite this close relationship to the king, Elnathan was one of those who, according to Jeremiah36:25 opposed Jehoiakim when he cut up and burnt a scroll that had been brought to him, containing Jeremiah's prophesies of the forthcoming destruction of Judah. Elnathan's father Achbor was a strong supporter of the earlier reforms of King Josiah, which may have influenced Elnathan's behavior,[285] although according to Jeremiah26:20–23 he had earlier been closely involved in the persecution of the prophet Uriah ben Shemaiah.
In Ezra 8:16, the name Elnathan occurs three times:
- Then sent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, chief men; also for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, which were teachers. (Revised Version)
Donna Laird proposes that the repetition of "Elnathan", and the similarity between the names "Jarib" and "Joiarib", indicate a copyist's accidental repetition.[286]

The Hittites, flattering Abraham by calling him a mighty prince, said that he could choose whichever tomb he wanted.[293] Abraham then asked his hosts to contact Ephron, son of Zohar, who owned a field where the cave of Machpelah was located, which he was offering to buy for "the full price". Ephron slyly replies that he is prepared to give Abraham the field and the cave within, knowing that that would not result in Abraham having a permanent claim on it.[294] Abraham politely refuses the offer and insists on paying for the field. Ephron replies that the field is worth four hundred shekels of silver, and Abraham agrees to the price without any further bargaining.[294] He then proceeded to bury Sarah there.[295]

In Genesis 36:11 and 1 Chronicles 1:36, Gatam is described the "son" of Eliphaz, the son of Esau (who is according to the Bible the forefather of the Edomites). In the passages which describe Gatam as a "son" of Eliphaz, he is listed alongside his "brothers": Teman, Omar, Zepho, and Kenaz according to Genesis; a similar but slightly larger list of brothers in Chronicles (Chronicles includes Amalek as a brother of Gatam).

- Gemariah son of Shaphan in chapter 36 of Jeremiah. His own son Micaiah hears Jeremiah's secretary Baruch read Jeremiah's prophecies against the nation, and reports to a meeting of the court officials, including his father, nearby.

Ginath
Ginath (גִּינַת "protection") is a name which is mentioned only in passing in a narrative describing the struggle for kingship between Omri and Tibni.[312] Tibni is referred to in 1 Kings 16:21 and 22 as "son of Ginath," which taken literally, could be read as implying that a person named Ginath was Tibni's father.[312] However, the Encyclopaedia Biblica suggests that the term "Ginath" is a place-name or clan-name, so that "Tibni son of Ginath" has the meaning "Tibni of Ginath."[312]
Gideoni
Gideoni (Hebrew: גִּדְעֹנִי) was a member of the tribe of Benjamin according to Numbers 1:11. He was the father of Abidan, a tribal chief.

H
Haahashtari
Haahashtari or Ahashtari was one of the sons of Naarah, one of the two wives of Asshur (1 Chronicles 4:6). Because the name is used to refer to a family of Judahites who descend from Judah via Ashhur, Thomas Kelly Cheyne believed that the name "Haahashtari" arose from a confusion between Ha-Ashhuri ("the Ashhurite") with the obscure term ahashtranim which appears in Esther 8:10.[319]
Habaiah
Habaiah (also called Hobaiah or Obdia) was the name given to a priestly family mentioned in Ezra 2:61: the b'ne habayah (literally "sons/descendants of Habaiah").[320][321] Along with the families Hakkoz and Barzillai, the Habaiah family were priests whose names were not registered in the official genealogical records.[322] As a result, Ezra ruled that their rights to serve as priests would be restricted until such time as a high priest could decide, using the oracular Urim and Thummim, whether they had divine approval to serve as priests.[323]
The name "Habaiah" means "Yahweh hides" or "Yahweh protects," and appears in manuscripts of the Greek Septuagint in the forms Labeia,Obaia,Odogia,Ebeia,Ab(e)ia,Obbeia, and Obdia.[321]
Habazziniah
Habazziniah or Habaziniah (חֲבַצַּנְיָה) was either the head of a family of Rechabites (Jeremiah 35:3), or else a place name for the location that a Rechabite lived.[324] According to Cheyne and Black, it may have been a scribal error where the name "Kabzeel," a place in the territory of Judah, was originally intended."[324]

Hagab
Hagab (also Agaba, Accaba) (Hebrew: חָגָב "locust") is identified as the ancestor of a family of Nethinim, or temple assistants, who returned from the Babylonian exile.[329] They appear in a list with other returnees in Ezra 2:46, but are omitted in the corresponding place in Nehemiah 7:48. A Hellenized version of this name appears in a similar context in 1 Esdras 5:30.[329] In the New Testament, a prophet who appears in Acts 11:28 and 21:10 is named Agabus, a variant on the name Hagab.[329]
Hagab is a different character from Hagabah, which appears in the preceding verse.
Hagabah

Hallohesh
Hallohesh or Halohesh is a name which is used twice in the Bible.[332] In a list of workers building the wall of Nehemiah, a man named "Shallum son of Hallohesh" is mentioned as having a leadership role.[333] Also in the Book of Nehemiah, a person named Hallohesh is recorded as affixing his seal (an ancient form of signature) to Ezra's covenant between God and the people living around Jerusalem.[334]
Thomas Kelly Cheyne believed that the name Hallohesh was a miswritten version of the name Hash-shilhi, (Shilhi).[332]
Hammedatha
Hammedatha was an Agagite and the father of Haman (see Esther 3:1).
Hammoleketh
Hammoleketh or Hammolecheth is the sister of Machir, the eponymous ancestor of the tribe or clan of Machir, which is reckoned as a part of the tribe of Manasseh in 1 Chronicles 7. The name appears to mean "she who reigns" if it is not a scribal error for some other name, such as Beth-Milcah.[335]
Hammelech
Hammelech, in the King James Version is the name of the father of Jerahmeel (Jeremiah 36:26), and it is the name of the father of Malkijah (Jeremiah 38:6).

After Gideon tore down the altar of Baal and cut down the grove, the men of Ophrah sought to kill Gideon. Joash stood against them, saying, "He that will plead for [Baal], let him be put to death whilst it is yet morning: if he be a god, let him plead for himself, because one hath cast down his altar."
- A Joash is described as "the king's son" in the time of Ahab. According to Stanley Arthur Cook, it is uncertain whether he was the son of king Ahab, or whether "king's son" was a title used by high officers.[563]

Joel
Joel is the name of several men in the Hebrew Bible:
- A Hebrew Bible book of the prophet Joel, the main theme of which is the coming “Day of the Lord”. The prophet Joel cannot be identified with any of the 12 other figures in the Hebrew Bible who have the same name. He is not mentioned outside the books of Joel and Acts (Ac 2:16). His father, Pethuel (1:1), is also unknown. Judging from his concern with Judah and Jerusalem (see 2:32; 3:1,6,8,16-20), it seems likely that Joel lived in that area.
- The firstborn son of the prophet Samuel and father of Heman the singer. According to 1 Samuel chapter 8, Joel and his brother Abijah were appointed by Samuel to be judges in Beersheba, in the south of Israel, while he continued to judge in Ramah. However, Joel and Abijah "walked not in his ways, but turned aside after lucre, and took bribes, and perverted judgment", prompting the Israelites to demand that Samuel give them a king. Josephus says that "resigning his office to his sons, he divided the people between them, and placed them in Bethel and Beer-sheba", a statement which the Cambridge Bible for Schools and Colleges suggests "is probably his own conjecture".[569]
- An ancestor of Samuel (mentioned in 1 Chr 6:21).[570]
- A Simeonite prince (1 Chr 4:35).[570]
- A Reubenite; father of Shemaiah (1 Chr 5:4–8).[570]

J names Moses' father-in-law as Reuel or Hobab, whereas E knows him as Jethro, priest of Midian.
- ↑Gunther Plaut, The Torah: A Modern Commentary, Union of American Hebrew Congregations, New York, 1981, p. 390:"Reuel. In Exodus 3:1, 4:18, and ch. 18 he is called Jether and Jethro, and in Num. 10:29 we are told of 'Hobab, son of Reuel, Moses' father-in-law.' Tradition has attempted to harmonize these differences. Ibn Ezra, for instance, says that 'father' in V. 18 really means 'grandfather,' and that Hobab is another name for Jethro. Critical scholarship considers the divergences due to different traditions; thus, Jethro appears to be an older man with grown daughters, while Hobab is a potent wilderness guide (Num. 10:29–32)... It is also possible that the text originally read Hobab, son of Reuel."
