Abioud (Ἀβιούδ) is the Greek form of Hebrew Avihud meaning "my father is majesty" or "father of glory," from avi (my father) and hod (splendor, majesty). It appears in Matthew 1:13 in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, as the son of Zerubbabel and father of Eliakim.
Abiud's sole appearance in Scripture is in the genealogy of Jesus — yet his name confesses: "My Father is majesty." Every name in Matthew 1 is a link in the chain of God's faithfulness across generations. Abiud stands in the crucial post-exilic segment of Christ's lineage — a period when the Davidic dynasty had no throne, no king. Yet God preserved the seed of David through obscure figures like Abiud. The Father's majesty (hod) was hidden in ordinary families, awaiting the fullness of time (Galatians 4:4) when the Son of David would appear.
