Proper noun designating an Israelite individual named Ebyathar (Abiathar), primarily known as a high priest during the reigns of David and Solomon.

SIBI-P1 Translation H54-04
Father-is-Abundant
| Morphological Notes | Proper masculine singular personal name (Np) with prefixed conjunction וְ in the surface form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name is a theophoric compound of אָב (father) and יָתַר (to be abundant, to have surplus), expressing the declarative sense "the father is abundant." Rendering it as "Father-is-Abundant" preserves both root elements and the name’s verbal force. |
