Definition: Verse 6 of 2 Samuel 12:18, the English translation of which reads: "Then David said to Abinadab, "I have been taught to give him bread for his meal; but I do not know what is in this man's hand." "Agyria," answered Abinadab, "is a woman who has given birth. The Lord has put her on the throne of Israel." The phrase 'agyria' in this verse translates into Hebrew as 'a woman who has given birth'. This word plays a significant role in the narrative of King David and his relationship with Samuel. Samuel is appointed as king by God, but David refuses to be crowned, instead he takes Samuel as his heir. In this context, Agyria symbolizes Samuel's rightful position as head of the Israelite kingdom after David’s death. The verse also mentions a 'bowl' or 'cup', which could mean either a specific type of food, likely referring to bread. The phrase 'for his meal' suggests that Agyria was providing her meal to David, which is typical in Jewish religious practices.
