Who is Lamech?
        LA'MECH
        (strong). 1. Son of Methuselah, and father of Noah. Gen 5:25, 1 Chr 24:31; 1 Chr 1:3; Luke 3:36. 1. The fifth descendant from Cain, the first polygamist, father of Jabal, Jubal, the inventor of musical instruments, and Tubal-cain, the worker of metals. He was the author of the earliest verses extant, in which he addresses his wives on account of having slain a man. Gen 4:18-24: "Adah and Zillab, hear my voice; Ye wives of Laraech, hearken unto my speech; For I have slain a man for my wound, And a young man for my bruise; Truly, Cain shall be avenged sevenfold, And Lamech seventy and sevenfold."
