Strong's Lexicon Benayahu or Benayah: Benaiah Original Word: בְּנָיָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בָּנָה (banah), meaning "to build," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, meaning "the LORD." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Benaiah, the concept of God establishing or building is reflected in Greek terms like θεμελιόω (themelioō), meaning "to lay a foundation." Usage: The name Benaiah means "Yahweh has built" or "Yahweh has established." It is used as a personal name for several individuals in the Old Testament, most notably for Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, a valiant warrior and leader in King David's army. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meaning and were reflective of the individual's character or the circumstances of their birth. Benaiah, as a name, emphasizes the role of Yahweh in establishing and building up individuals and families.
