Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Ikabod in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun without a direct counterpart in the Greek New Testament. However, the concept of "glory" is often translated in Greek as δόξα (doxa), Strong's Greek Number 1391, which can be considered conceptually related in terms of the thematic element of "glory" or its absence.

Usage: Ikabod is used as a proper noun, specifically as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Ikabod is a significant figure in the Old Testament, mentioned in the context of a pivotal moment in Israel's history. The name is given to the son of Phinehas, who was the son of Eli, the high priest. The birth of Ikabod is recorded in 1 Samuel 4:21-22, during a time of national crisis for Israel. The Philistines had captured the Ark of the Covenant, and both Eli's sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were killed in battle. Upon hearing the news of the Ark's capture and the death of her husband, Phinehas' wife went into labor and gave birth to a son. In her dying moments, she named the child Ikabod, saying, "The glory has departed from Israel," because the Ark of God had been taken and her father-in-law and husband were dead. This name, therefore, encapsulates the despair and loss felt by Israel at that time, symbolizing the departure of God's glory from the nation due to the loss of the Ark, which was central to Israel's worship and identity.
