Part of Speech:Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration:Abner
Pronunciation:av-NAYR
Phonetic Spelling:(ab-nare')
Definition:Abner
Meaning:Abner

Word Origin:Derived from אָב (av, meaning "father") and נֵר (ner, meaning "lamp" or "light")

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There is no direct Greek equivalent for Abner in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as Abner is a Hebrew name specific to the Old Testament narrative.

Usage:Abner means "father of light" or "my father is a lamp." In the Hebrew Bible, Abner is a prominent military leader and the cousin of King Saul. He serves as the commander of Saul's army and plays a significant role in the power dynamics of Israel during the transition from Saul's reign to David's kingship.

Cultural and Historical Background:Abner is a key figure in the early monarchy of Israel. As the son of Ner and the cousin of Saul, he held a position of influence and authority. His loyalty to Saul and later to Saul's son, Ish-bosheth, highlights the complex political landscape of the time. Abner's actions and decisions were pivotal during the civil war between the house of Saul and the house of David, reflecting the tribal and familial loyalties that characterized ancient Israelite society.
