N. 92, No.27); — 2 Samuel 3:5 (ᵐ5 Αιγαλ, A Αιγας, ᵐ5L Αγλα) = 1 Chronicles 3:3 (ᵐ5 Αλα, A Αγλα, ᵐ5L Εγλα). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עֵגֶל (egel), meaning "calf."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Strong's Greek entry is G4765, which is the Greek word "στρατηγός" (strategos), meaning "general" or "commander." However, this Greek entry does not directly relate to the Hebrew name Eglah but is listed for reference in the Strong's concordance system. The Greek entry is unrelated in meaning or context to the Hebrew proper noun Eglah. Usage: Eglah is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to one of King David's wives. Context: Eglah is mentioned in the context of King David's family. She is listed as one of David's wives and the mother of his son Ithream. The reference to Eglah is found in 2 Samuel 3:5, where she is mentioned among the wives of David who bore him sons in Hebron. The text states: "The sixth was Ithream, by David’s wife Eglah. These sons were born to David in Hebron." (BSB). The mention of Eglah is brief, and little is known about her beyond her role as a wife of David and mother to one of his sons. The name Eglah, meaning "heifer," may suggest a cultural or familial significance, possibly indicating beauty or fertility, as heifers were often symbols of such attributes in ancient Near Eastern cultures.
