Biblical word for dead beat dad?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Just as the title states, does anyone know if the bible had a word for dead beat dads.

First you’d have to clarify what constitutes a “Dead beat dad” in the biblical era Levant - as I’m fairly certain they didnt have modern definitions of paternity suits and child-support.

From the King James Bible
“But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.”

So that’s pretty damn bad in Bible speak! Basically means that they are unloyal and untrustworthy.

There is a root “עגנ” that occurs in the Bible, but the “deadbeat dad” meaning/context sounds like something that would appear in the Talmud, not the Bible.

So why does the article appear to focus on the leader, and not on his son, at least in the headline?

Grammatically the Jewish leader’s are adjectives describing the son, which is the noun of the sentence…so he is the focus of the headline. ??? Probably because more people have probably heard of the leader as opposed to his deadbeat son.
