Tidal (king)


Tidal, king of Goyim, is a monarch mentioned in Genesis 14:1. Genesis describes Tidal as one of the four kings who fought Abraham in the Battle of Siddim.
The word goyim in biblical Hebrew can be translated as "nations" or "peoples" or "ethnic groups", although biblical scholars suggest that in this verse it may instead be a reference to the region of Gutium.
