Lappidoth (Woman living before Israel's Monarchy)
Deborah's husband, and Scripture says nothing more about him. The name means "torches", and some older readers took it as a word about Deborah herself. The plain reading makes it his name.

The husband of Deborah, the prophetess and judge who led Israel against the Canaanite general Sisera (Judges 4:4). Scripture says nothing about Lappidoth himself beyond identifying him as Deborah's husband; some older interpreters have suggested the name, meaning "torches" or "flashes," was actually an epithet for Deborah's own fiery character rather than her husband's given name, though the plain reading takes it as his name.
