Tidal (king)

Tidal (Hebrew: תִדְעָל, Modern: Tid'al, Tiberian: Ṯīḏe‘āl, Ancient Ṯīḏeġāl), 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" (in modern Hebrew it means "Gentiles"), although biblical scholars suggest that in this verse it may instead be a reference to the region of Gutium.[2]

Theories about the name

  • The name Tidal is considered equivalent to Tudhaliya,[3] the name both of a Proto-Hittite king and a Hittite king. The name continued as "Tudal" down to the Neo-Hittite period.

This is definitely my entry.
gollark: I wish to use Mathematica in my code. Please install it. DO NOT READ, ubq.
gollark: I have a "great" way to do this which I think takes O(n²) space-time-beeite.
gollark: Perhaps it is also possible to construct some sort of regex/deterministic finite automaton to match things matching anagramatically.
gollark: Bogothings run in O(n!) time mostly. So just make `giveup`'s maximum be `math.factorial(len(remove_whitespace(s)))`.
