Ahiam, one of David's mighty warriors
A personal name belonging to one of David's elite fighting men, listed among the Thirty in both 2 Samuel 23 and 1 Chronicles 11. The name appears in the parallel accounts of David's champions with consistent spelling. Little else is known about this warrior beyond his inclusion in this honored roster of David's most skilled and loyal fighters.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The multilingual evidence shows relative stability in transliteration: English uses 'Ahiam,' Spanish 'Ajiam' or 'Ajíam' (reflecting the guttural), French offers 'Ahiam' or brackets the Hebrew, and German similarly provides 'Ahiam' or the Hebrew form. The parallel occurrence in 2 Samuel 23:33 and 1 Chronicles 11:35 represents the same person in duplicate lists of David's elite guard, compiled from different sources or traditions. 2×
