The name Zebidah (or Zebudah as some manuscripts have it) occurs only one time in the Bible. She is the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah, wife of king Josiah of Judah and the mother of king Jehoiakim (2 Kings 23:36).

scene where Leah is about to name her son Zebulun, "God has endowed me with a good gift..." (Genesis 30:20). Another, much more common verb that means to give is  (natan - see the name Nathan).
