Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: tab'el
Pronunciation: tahv-ayl
Phonetic Spelling: (taw-beh-ale')
Definition: Tabeel
Meaning: Tabeel

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots טוֹב (tov, meaning "good") and אֵל (el, meaning "God"), together suggesting "God is good" or "Goodness of God."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Tabeel in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a New Testament counterpart.

Usage: The name Tabeel appears in the Hebrew Bible as a proper noun, specifically referring to a person. It is used in a context that suggests opposition to the Davidic line and the kingdom of Judah.

Cultural and Historical Background: The name Tabeel is mentioned in the context of a political conspiracy during the reign of King Ahaz of Judah. This was a tumultuous period in the 8th century BCE when the kingdoms of Israel and Aram (Syria) formed an alliance against Judah. The conspirators intended to dethrone Ahaz and install Tabeel as a puppet king, which would have undermined the Davidic covenant and the stability of Judah.
