Ammihur (Hastings' Dictionary)

See Ammihud, No. 4. AMMINADAB (2-i;'!?a ' kinsman is generous,' or perhaps 'my people is generous,' B 'A/utvadi^, A 'AfuyaSdfl ; in NT Mt l^(and Lk 3"?) 'A/iii-aSaft whence the name in AV of NT is spelt Aminadab). — 1. According to the genealogy in Ruth, which gives David's ancestry, Amminadab was son of Ram and father of Nahshon (Ru 4""- = l Ch 2'», Mt 1) ; as father of Nahshon he is also mentioned in Nu 1' 2^ 7" 10' (P).

Through his daiw:hter Elisheba he became father-in-law of Aaron, Ex 6^ (P). 2. According' to 1 Ch 6-'' A. was son of Kohath and father of Korah ; but in other state- ments about Kohath's children {e.c/. Ex 6'", Nu 3'^, 1 Ch 6-) A. is not mentioned ; moreover, elsewhere Izhar appears as son of Kohath and father of Korah (Ex 6''-^\ 1 Ch 6"). There can be little doubt, therefore, that A.

has accidentally replaced Izhar in 1 Ch 6, ; this may have arisen in compiling the list from a fuller list of the Kohathites which mentionea the connexion of A. (No. 1) with them. 3. According to the Chronicler (1 Ch 15">- ") another A. was chief of a Levitical house in the days of David ; he is described as a son of Uzziel, who was one of the sons of Kohath (1 Ch 6=). G. B.

AlOIINADIB (3nj 'py) occurs in AV and RVm of a very obscure passage, Ca 6'= ' my soul made me like the chariots of Amminadib.' RV and AVm do not regard the term as a pr. name, but render ' my soul set me on (RV among) the chariots of my willing (RV princely) people.' In Kautzsch's tr.

of OT the passage is omitted from the text, and is rendered in a footnote, ' Mein Verlangen [ver-] setzste mich auf die Wagen meines Volkes, eines Edlen,' with the remark that it is quite unin- telligible in its present context. The great variety of interpretation and exegesis of the words will be found exhibited in Reuss' AT, v. 391 ff. ; cf. Hitzig, d. Hoht Lied, 82 f., and comm. of Delitzsch, Ewald, Bottcher, Zockler, Oettli, etc. See Song of Songs. J. A. Selbie.
