Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Kimham, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: Kimham is mentioned in the context of a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Kimham is a figure mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the narrative concerning King David. In 2 Samuel 19:37-40, Kimham is identified as the son of Barzillai the Gileadite. Barzillai was a wealthy and elderly supporter of King David during Absalom's rebellion. When David was returning to Jerusalem after the rebellion, Barzillai came to escort the king across the Jordan River. Due to his advanced age, Barzillai declined David's offer to come to Jerusalem and be provided for at the king's table. Instead, Barzillai requested that his son Kimham be allowed to go in his place. David agreed to this request, showing favor to Kimham as a gesture of gratitude to Barzillai. The narrative highlights the loyalty and support of Barzillai and the subsequent favor extended to his son, Kimham, by King David.
