(Hebrew Achimoth', אֲחַימוֹת , brother of death, i e. perh. destructive; Sept. Ἀχιμώθ ), a person named with Amasai as sons of Elkanah, a Levite (1 Chronicles 6:25). From 1 Chronicles 6:35, however, it would appear that he was rather the grandson of this Elkanah (through Amasai), and the father of the other Elkanah of 1 Chronicles 6:26. He is there called MAHATH (See MAHATH) (q.v.).
