(1 Chronicles 1:8; Nahum 3:9) [PHUT, PUT]
Put
Put, spelled Phut in the King James Version, is first a name in a family list: “Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan” are the sons of Ham in Genesis 10:6. After that the name belongs to a people rather than a person. Ezekiel places Phut among the fighters in a king’s army, men who “hanged the shield and helmet” in his city. Other verses on this list gather Ethiopia, Libya and Persia with shield and bow, and Ezekiel 30:5 speaks of those in league with Egypt who fall with it. Little else is said of them, so the picture stays that of a nation of soldiers called on by larger powers.
