Subjects in this Topic:
ICHABOD.—Son of Phinehas and grandson of Eli. The name means ‘inglorious,’ but probably should be ‘Jahweh is glory,’ from an original Jochebed. If this guess be well founded, then the turn given to the story in 1Sa_4:21 is due to a desire to mould it on the story of the birth of Benjamin in Gen_35:18.
