From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Abinoam       father of kindness, the father of Barak (Judg. 4:6; 5:1).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Abomination       This word is used, (1.) To express the idea that the Egyptians       considered themselves as defiled when they ate with strangers       (Gen. 43:32). The Jews subsequently followed the same practice,       holding it unlawful to eat or drink with foreigners (John 18:28;       Acts 10:28; 11:3).                (2.) Every shepherd was "an abomination" unto the Egyptians       (Gen. 46:34). This aversion to shepherds, such as the Hebrews,       arose probably from the fact that Lower and Middle Egypt had       formerly been held in oppressive subjection by a tribe of nomad       shepherds (the Hyksos), who had only recently been expelled, and       partly also perhaps from this other fact that the Egyptians       detested the lawless habits of these wandering shepherds.                (3.) Pharaoh was so moved by the fourth plague, that while he       refused the demand of Moses, he offered a compromise, granting       to the Israelites permission to hold their festival and offer       their sacrifices in Egypt. This permission could not be       accepted, because Moses said they would have to sacrifice "the       abomination of the Egyptians" (Ex. 8:26); i.e., the cow or ox,       which all the Egyptians held as sacred, and which they regarded       it as sacrilegious to kill.                (4.) Daniel (11:31), in that section of his prophecies which       is generally interpreted as referring to the fearful calamities       that were to fall on the Jews in the time of Antiochus       Epiphanes, says, "And they shall place the abomination that       maketh desolate." Antiochus Epiphanes caused an altar to be       erected on the altar of burnt-offering, on which sacrifices were       offered to Jupiter Olympus. (Comp. 1 Macc. 1:57). This was the       abomination of the desolation of Jerusalem. The same language is       employed in Dan. 9:27 (comp. Matt. 24:15), where the reference       is probably to the image-crowned standards which the Romans set       up at the east gate of the temple (A.D. 70), and to which they       paid idolatrous honours. "Almost the entire religion of the       Roman camp consisted in worshipping the ensign, swearing by the       ensign, and in preferring the ensign before all other gods."       These ensigns were an "abomination" to the Jews, the       "abomination of desolation."                This word is also used symbolically of sin in general (Isa.       66:3); an idol (44:19); the ceremonies of the apostate Church of       Rome (Rev. 17:4); a detestable act (Ezek. 22:11).
