Zabdi

From Bible Exegesis

zab´dī (זבדּי, zabhdī, perhaps “(a) gift of YHWH” or “my gift” = New Testament “Zebedee”):

(1) An ancestor of Achan (Joshua 7:1, Joshua 7:17, Joshua 7:18). He is probably the “Zimri” of 1 Chronicles 2:6. Some Septuagint manuscripts and 1 Chronicles 2:6 have “Zimri” (זמרי, zimrī); “the confusion of the Hebrew letter bēth (ב) and the Hebrew letter mēm (מ) is phonetic; the confusion of the Hebrew letter dāleth (ד) and the Hebrew letter rēsh (ר) is graphic” (Curtis, Chronicles, 86). See Zimri, (3).

(2) A Benjamite, son of Shimei (1 Chronicles 8:19), and possibly a descendant of Ehud (Curtis).

(3) Called “the Shiphmite,” one of David's officers who had charge of the wine-cellars or vineyards (1 Chronicles 27:27). The Septuagint's Codex Vaticanus has Ζαχρεί, Zachreí (probably Zichri).

(4) A Levite, one of the sons of Asaph and an ancestor of Mattaniah (Nehemiah 11:17); probably the same as Zichri (1 Chronicles 9:15), and Zaccur (Nehemiah 12:35). Luc. and 1 Chronicles 9:15 have “Zichri.”

See Zichri, I, 2.
