Abdi:

my servant

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Abdi:

ab'-di (‘abhdi, probably by abbreviation "servant of Yahweh"):

(1) A Levite, father of Kishi and grandfather of King David's singer Ethan (1Ch 6:44; compare 1Ch 15:17). This makes Abdi a contemporary of Saul the king.

(2) A Levite, father of the Kish who was in service at the beginning of the reign of Hezekiah (2Ch 29:12). Some mistakenly identify this Abdi with the former.

(3) A man who in Ezra's time had married a foreign wife (Ezr 10:26). Not a Levite, but "of the sons of Elam."



Smith's Bible Dictionary

Abdi:

(my servant).

(1.) A Merarite, and ancestor of Ethan the singer (1 Chronicles 6:44). (B.C. before 1015)

(2.) The father of Kish, a Merarite, in the reign of Hezekiah (2 Chronicles 29:12). (B.C. before 736)

(3.) One of the Bene‐Elam in the time of Ezra, who had married a foreign wife (Ezra 10:26). (B.C. 659)
