Usage: The name Eliakim appears in the New Testament in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, specifically in the Gospel of Matthew.

Context: Eliakim is a biblical figure mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew. In Matthew 1:13, Eliakim is listed as an ancestor of Jesus, situated in the lineage that traces the descent from Zerubbabel to Joseph, the husband of Mary. The inclusion of Eliakim in this genealogy underscores the fulfillment of God's promises through the Davidic line, highlighting the divine orchestration in the establishment of Jesus' earthly heritage.

The name Eliakim, meaning "God will establish," reflects a common theme in biblical narratives where God actively intervenes in human history to fulfill His covenantal promises. This is particularly significant in the context of the genealogy, as it emphasizes the continuity of God's plan from the Old Testament to the New Testament.

Eliakim is also a name found in the Old Testament, where it is borne by several individuals, including a prominent official in the court of King Hezekiah (2 Kings 18:18) and a high priest during the time of Nehemiah (Nehemiah 12:41). These occurrences in the Hebrew Scriptures further illustrate the name's association with leadership and divine appointment.
