Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Azmaveth in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of strength and death can be explored through Greek words related to power (δύναμις, dynamis) and death (θάνατος, thanatos) in the Septuagint and New Testament contexts.

Usage: Azmaveth is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to both a person and a place.

2. Azmaveth, the Son of Adiel: A treasurer in the service of King David, responsible for the royal treasuries. He is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 27:25.

Location:
