Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root אָחוֹחַ (Achoach), which is a proper noun.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term אֲחוֹחִי (Achochi) as it is a specific proper noun related to a Hebrew lineage or family.

Usage: The term "Achochite" is used in the context of identifying individuals associated with a specific lineage or family, particularly in the genealogical and military records of the Old Testament.

Context: The term "Achochite" (אֲחוֹחִי) appears in the Old Testament as a designation for individuals belonging to a particular family or clan. This term is specifically used to identify two of David's mighty warriors, who were part of his elite group known as "The Thirty." The mention of the Achochites highlights the importance of familial and tribal affiliations in the socio-political and military structures of ancient Israel.

In 2 Samuel 23:9, we encounter Eleazar, the son of Dodo the Ahohite, who is noted for his valor in battle alongside King David. The passage states: "Next to him was Eleazar son of Dodo the Ahohite. As one of the three mighty men, he was with David when they taunted the Philistines gathered at Pas-dammim for battle." This reference underscores Eleazar's significant role and his association with the Ahohite lineage.

Similarly, in 2 Samuel 23:28, Zalmon the Ahohite is listed among David's mighty warriors: "Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite." This inclusion further emphasizes the prominence of the Ahohite family within the ranks of David's most trusted and valiant soldiers.

The Ahohites, therefore, represent a notable family within the tribal framework of Israel, contributing to the military prowess and leadership during the reign of King David. Their mention in the biblical text serves as a testament to their bravery and loyalty, qualities highly esteemed in the narrative of Israel's history.
