Az'maveth is a biblical figure and place name found in the Old Testament, with references spanning various contexts, including genealogies, military exploits, and geographical locations. The name Az'maveth is of Hebrew origin, meaning "strong as death" or "death is strong."

1. Az'maveth, the Person:

· One of David's Mighty Warriors: Az'maveth is listed among the valiant warriors who served King David. In 2 Samuel 23:31 and 1 Chronicles 11:33, he is identified as one of the thirty mighty men, a group of elite soldiers renowned for their bravery and loyalty to David. The Berean Standard Bible states: "Azmaveth the Baharumite, Eliahba the Shaalbonite" (2 Samuel 23:31). This highlights his origin from Bahurim, a location in the territory of Benjamin.

· A Benjamite Leader: Another Az'maveth is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 12:3 as a leader among the Benjamites who joined David at Ziklag. This group of warriors defected from Saul's army to support David, demonstrating their allegiance to the future king of Israel.

· A Royal Official: In the administrative structure of King David's reign, Az'maveth is noted as the son of Adiel, who was in charge of the royal storehouses. 1 Chronicles 27:25 records: "Azmaveth son of Adiel was in charge of the king’s storehouses." This position indicates a role of significant responsibility and trust within the kingdom's economic management.

2. Az'maveth, the Place:

· A Town in Benjamin: Az'maveth is also the name of a town in the tribal territory of Benjamin. It is mentioned in the post-exilic period as one of the locations where the returning exiles settled. Nehemiah 12:29 refers to the "villages of the Netophathites," which includes Az'maveth, indicating its proximity to other Benjamite settlements.

· Post-Exilic Returnees: The town's significance is further underscored in the list of those who returned from Babylonian exile. Ezra 2:24 and Nehemiah 7:28 mention the "men of Azmaveth" among the groups that resettled in Judah, reflecting the continuity of the community and its integration into the restored nation of Israel.

In summary, Az'maveth is a multifaceted term in the biblical narrative, representing both individuals who played crucial roles in the history of Israel and a geographical location significant in the post-exilic restoration. The references to Az'maveth highlight themes of loyalty, leadership, and the enduring legacy of the tribes of Israel.1041. Beth-azmaveth -- "house of Azmaveth," a place near Jer.
