ab-i-al'-bon, abi-al'-bon ('abhi `alebhon, meaning not known. Gesenius infers from the Arabic a stem which would give the meaning "father of strength," and this is at worst not quite so groundless as the conjectures which explain `alebhon as a textual misreading for 'el or ba`al): Abi-albon the Arbathite was one of David's listed heroes ( 2Sa 23:31 ), called Abiel the Arbathite in 1Ch 11:32 . Presumably he was from Beth- arabah ( Jos 15:6 , 61 , 18:22 ).
