It is a proper noun used in the context of ancient deities.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for נִבְחַז, as it is a specific proper noun related to a deity mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term נִבְחַז appears in the context of the religious practices of the Avvites, specifically in 2 Kings 17:31. Context: Nibchaz is mentioned in the Bible as one of the gods introduced by the Avvites when they settled in Samaria. The Avvites were one of the groups relocated to Samaria by the Assyrian king after the conquest of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. In 2 Kings 17:31, it is recorded: "The Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak." This passage highlights the syncretistic practices that emerged in Samaria, where various peoples brought their own deities and religious customs. Nibchaz, along with Tartak, represents the religious influence of the Avvites in the region. The specific attributes or characteristics of Nibchaz are not detailed in the biblical text, and there is limited extrabiblical information about this deity. The mention of Nibchaz serves as a testament to the diverse and often idolatrous religious landscape that characterized the period of the divided kingdom in Israel's history.
