Abiezer (lit. 'my father is help'); a personal name borne by a Manassite clan ancestor and a Benjamite warrior.
The name Aviezer or Abiezer means 'my father is help,' combining ʾāb ('father') and ʿēzer ('help'). It identifies two distinct figures in the Old Testament: first, the Manassite clan ancestor whose descendants include Gideon (Judg 6:34; 8:2; Josh 17:2), and second, a Benjamite warrior among David's mighty men (2 Sam 23:27; 1 Chr 11:28; 27:12). The clan of Abiezer plays a prominent role in the Gideon narrative, where 'the Spirit of the LORD clothed Gideon, and he blew the trumpet, and the Abiezrites were called to follow him.'
