Definition: The term "Alcapton" comes from the biblical reference in 2 Kings 15:38, which translates to "And there was a great army, not one of them but many" (NIV). According to the Greek text, this verse refers to a group or assembly that was gathered together by God and used their military might for destruction. The term itself is an acronym for "All Nations." It can also be translated as "all nations," referring to all the nations and peoples under one king's rule, which would have been Nebuchadnezzar I in Babylonian times. The Greek word used here, "alcapton," seems to have a different context than the original Hebrew text. The Hebrew text translates it with the word "am" (the same word used in 2 Kings 15:38) which is derived from the Greek verb "almacot" meaning "to gather." This word probably means, "to gather together," or "to meet and assemble." The original Hebrew text also uses a phrase that suggests the assembly was made up of multiple nations. The phrase seems to be suggesting that it included all people of the land, which is what Nebuchadnezzar's army represented. However, this detail does not translate directly into English. In summary, "Alcapton" refers to a military assembly or gathering in ancient times by God's command, and the word "am," meaning "to gather," was used to describe this group of nations gathered together under Nebuchadnezzar I's leadership.
