Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry is Strong's G2199, Ζαβδι (Zabdi), which is a transliteration of the Hebrew name and appears in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible. This entry maintains the same meaning and is used to refer to the same individuals as in the Hebrew text.

Usage: Zabdi is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to individuals in various genealogical and historical contexts.

Context: Zabdi is a name that appears in several contexts within the Hebrew Bible. It is primarily noted as the name of three distinct individuals:
1. Zabdi, the son of Zerah: He is most notably recognized as the grandfather of Achan, who took forbidden items during the conquest of Jericho, leading to Israel's defeat at Ai. This account is found in Joshua 7:1, where it states, "But the Israelites acted unfaithfully regarding the devoted things. Achan son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of what was devoted, and the LORD's anger burned against the Israelites."
2. Zabdi, the Shiphmite: He is mentioned as an overseer of the produce of the vineyards for King David, as recorded in 1 Chronicles 27:27: "Shimei the Ramathite was in charge of the vineyards; Zabdi the Shiphmite was in charge of the produce of the vineyards for the wine cellars."
3. Zabdi, a Benjamite: He is listed among the sons of Shimhi in 1 Chronicles 8:19, indicating his lineage within the tribe of Benjamin.

• The name Zabdi reflects a common practice in Hebrew culture of naming individuals in a way that acknowledges divine favor or blessing, as indicated by its meaning "endowed" or "gift of Yahweh."
