Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Adoni-zedek in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Adoni-zedek means "my lord is righteousness" or "lord of righteousness." It is used as a proper name for a king of Jerusalem during the time of Joshua. Cultural and Historical Background: Adoni-zedek was a Canaanite king of Jerusalem who reigned during the Israelite conquest of Canaan under Joshua's leadership.
