Gesenius' Hebrew and Chaldee Definition
אֲבִימֶלֶךְ (“father of the king,” or “father king”), [Abimelech], pr.n.
(1) of several kings in the land of the Philistines, living at different periods, Genesis 20:2, sqq.; 21:22, sqq.; 26 Genesis 21:26:l, sqq.; Psalms 34:1. As the same king, who in the Ps. loc. cit. is called Abimelech, is in 1 Samuel 21:11, called Achish (אָכִישׁ), this name or title appears to have been mostly common to them, like داد شاه Padishah (father king) of the Persian kings, and اتاليق Atalik (father, properly paternity) of the Khans of Bokhara.
(2) a son of Gideon, Judges 8:31, seq.; 9:1, seq.; 2 Samuel 11:21.
(3) 1 Chronicles 18:16, where indeed we probably should read אֲחִימֶלֶךְ, as 2 Samuel 8:17.
