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

Usage: The name Akbor appears in the Old Testament as the name of two individuals:
• Akbor, the father of Baal-hanan, who was a king of Edom.
• Akbor, the son of Micaiah, who served as an official in the court of King Josiah of Judah.

Context: • Akbor, Father of Baal-hanan: This Akbor is mentioned in the genealogical records of the kings of Edom. In Genesis 36:38-39, it is noted that Baal-hanan, the son of Akbor, succeeded Shaul as king of Edom. This reference places Akbor within the context of the Edomite monarchy, highlighting the interconnectedness of the Edomite and Israelite histories.

• Akbor, Son of Micaiah: This Akbor is noted for his role during the reign of King Josiah of Judah. In 2 Kings 22:12 and 2 Chronicles 34:20, Akbor is listed among the officials sent by King Josiah to consult the prophetess Huldah regarding the Book of the Law found in the temple. His involvement in this significant religious reform underscores his importance in the spiritual and political life of Judah during Josiah's reign.
