Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic elements טוּב (tub, meaning "good") and אֵל (el, meaning "God").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Tabeel in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific name found in the Hebrew text. However, the concept of "God is good" can be related to Greek terms expressing goodness and divinity, though not directly linked to a personal name. Usage: Tabeel is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a person. Context: Tabeel is mentioned in the context of a political conspiracy during the reign of King Ahaz of Judah. In Isaiah 7:6, Tabeel is identified as the name of a man whom the kings of Aram and Israel intended to install as a puppet king over Judah. The verse reads: "Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeel as king over it." This plot was part of the Syro-Ephraimite War, where Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, sought to overthrow the Davidic line in Jerusalem. The name Tabeel, meaning "God is good," is somewhat ironic in this context, as the plan was against the divinely established Davidic dynasty. The conspiracy ultimately failed, as prophesied by Isaiah, who assured King Ahaz that the plan would not succeed, emphasizing God's protection over Judah.
