Explanation: Abimelech is a proper noun, referring to a specific person. In the Old Testament, it is the name of several Philistine kings, particularly the king of Gerar who interacted with Abraham and Isaac. It is also the name of a son of Gideon who became a judge in Israel. The word is a compound of two Hebrew words: 'AB' (father) and 'MELECH' (king), meaning 'my father is king' or 'father of a king'. The apostrophe at the end (keraia) indicates that it is a proper noun and not a number.
