Azmaveth, a personal name meaning 'death is strong,' borne by several men in David's circle and a Benjaminite.
A masculine proper noun whose components -- 'oz (strength) and maweth (death) -- suggest 'death is strong' or 'strong unto death.' The name is borne by several distinct individuals: one of David's thirty mighty warriors (2 Sam 23:31, 1 Chr 11:33), the father of two Benjaminite fighters who joined David at Ziklag (1 Chr 12:3), a royal treasurer under David (1 Chr 27:25), and a Benjaminite in Saul's genealogy (1 Chr 8:36, 9:42). It also appears as a place name for a town resettled after the exile (Ezra 2:24, Neh 12:29). The Septuagint typically renders it Azmoth or Asmoth.
