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.

Definition: Abime is a term from Greek origin, meaning "the ground" or "the soil." It has its origins in ancient Greece where it was used as a noun to refer to the ground on which agricultural lands are located. In modern usage, the term abime refers to an area of land covered by crops and/or livestock. It often includes a soil type that is rich in nutrients like soil organic matter, nitrogenous materials like fertilizers, or microorganisms essential for crop growth such as bacteria or fungi. For example, if someone says they have "abime" in their garden, they are referring to the soil around the plants they grow.
