1909. Hadadezer

Strong's Lexicon

Hadadezer: Hadadezer

Original Word: הֲדַדְעֶזֶר
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Hadad`ezer
Pronunciation: hah-dad-eh'-zer
Phonetic Spelling: (had-ad-eh'-zer)
Definition: Hadadezer
Meaning: Hadadezer

Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: "Hadad" (הֲדַד), a name of a Syrian deity, and "ezer" (עֶזֶר), meaning "help."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Hadadezer in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew text.

Usage: Hadadezer means "Hadad is my help." It is used as a proper name for a king of Zobah, a region in ancient Syria. The name reflects the cultural practice of invoking deities for assistance and protection, common in the ancient Near East.

Cultural and Historical Background: Hadadezer was a king of Zobah, a significant Aramean kingdom during the time of King David. Zobah was located in the region of modern-day Syria. The Arameans were known for their conflicts with Israel, and Hadadezer's reign is marked by military engagements with King David. The name Hadadezer indicates the syncretism in the region, where local deities like Hadad were worshipped.
