a -huz´ath ( אחזּת , 'ăḥuzzath , "possession"): A "friend" perhaps a minister, of Abimelech, king of Gerar. He together with Phicol, commander of the army, accompanied their sovereign to Beersheba to make a covenant with Isaac (Genesis 26:26 ). The termination "-ath " reminds us of Philistine proper names, such as Gath, Goliath, etc. Compare Genubath (1 Kings 11:20 ).
