Athach

The name Athach means “thy time”.

Smith's Bible Dictionary 1863

(lodging place). (1 Samuel 30:30) As the name does not occur elsewhere, it has been suggested that it is an error of the transcriber for Ether, a town in the low country of Judah. (Joshua 15:42)

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia 1915

a'-thak (`athakh, "lodging-place"): One of the cities of Judah to which David sent from Ziklag the spoil of the Amalekites (1Sa 30:30). Its site is unknown. Driver, Budde, and Wellhausen identify it with Ether (Jos 15:42).
