Usage: The name Abitub means "my father is goodness" or "father of goodness." It is a personal name used in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes reflective of the parents' hopes or the circumstances of the child's birth. The name Abitub, with its connotation of goodness, may reflect a parental desire for the child to embody or be blessed by divine goodness. The tribe of Benjamin, to which Abitub belonged, was one of the twelve tribes of Israel, known for its warriors and its strategic location in the land of Israel.
