Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be dark or to overshadow.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Achlai, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: The name Achlai appears in the context of genealogical records within the Hebrew Scriptures. It is specifically mentioned in 1 Chronicles 11:41. Context: • Achlai is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogical listings of the Old Testament. The name appears in 1 Chronicles 11:41, where Achlai is identified as the father of Zabad, one of David's mighty warriors. This reference places Achlai within the context of King David's reign and highlights the importance of familial lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative. The mention of Achlai, though brief, contributes to the broader tapestry of Israel's history and the chronicling of those who played roles, however minor, in the establishment of David's kingdom. The name itself, meaning "my darkness," may suggest a personal or familial characteristic, though the text does not provide further details about Achlai's life or deeds. The genealogical record serves to affirm the historical and covenantal continuity within the narrative of Israel.
