English Bible Dictionary

Hadad, appellation

 

(mighty).

Originally the indigenous appellation of the sun among the Syrians, and thence transferred to the king as the highest of earthly authorities. The title appears to have been an official one, like Pharaoh. It is found occasionally in the altered form Hadar. (Genesis 25:15; 36:39) compared with 1Chr 1:30,50

 

* See other occurrences of the same term: Hadad.
