Definition: The word "Abimelech" means "the one who ruled over the Ammonites". It was a Phoenician king of ancient Israel, who became ruler in 16th century BC, when the city-state of Ammon bounded the sea by a narrow channel (Balaam's Channel). Abimelech's kingdom extended from the coast to the Mediterranean Sea and the Red Sea. The term "Abimelech" was used as a title for him by both kings of Israel, who also referred to him as their king. This practice is common among rulers of ancient kingdoms like the Phoenician one.
