Abibaal

King · Died c. 980 BC

Abibaal was a king of Tyre in the 10th century BC, father of the famous Hiram I. The only information known about him is derived from two passages in Josephus's Against Apion, i.117 and i.118. All that is said in these passages is that he preceded his son Hiram on the throne of Tyre.

Abibaal is read about 19 times a day, in 13 languages.

About this person

Neither his length of reign nor his immediate predecessors are known. The dating of Abibaal is therefore dependent on the dates assigned to his son. Here it is only the date of Abibaal's death that can be determined, based on the information preserved in Josephus regarding the length of time between the founding of Carthage until the first year of Hiram. See the Hiram I article for details on determining this date.
