- Abdon:
- This person seems to have borne both the name of Achbor and Abdon. "And the kingª commandedª°¹ Hilkiahª the priest,ª and Ahikamª the sonª of Shaphan,ª and Achborª the sonª of Michaiah,ª and Shaphanª the scribe,ª° and Asahiahª a servantª of the king's,ª saying,ª°" {2Kg 22:12}; Achbor, "And Jehoiakimª the kingª sentª° men²¹ into Egypt,ª [namely],¹ Elnathanª the sonª of Achbor,ª and [certain] men²¹ with¹ him into¹ Egypt.ª" {Jer 26:22}; Michah, Michaiah, מיכיה [Strong's H4321], as he is named in the parallel passage, is here called מיכה [Strong's H4318], Michah, merely by the omission of יה [Strong's H3050] yah, one of the Divine names.
