Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Adonikam, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not appear in the Greek New Testament.

Usage: Adonikam is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Adonikam is a biblical figure mentioned in the context of the return of the Jewish exiles from Babylon to Jerusalem. He is noted as the head of a family or clan that returned with Zerubbabel. The name Adonikam appears in the following passages:

Ezra 2:13: "the descendants of Adonikam, 666;"
Nehemiah 7:18: "the descendants of Adonikam, 667;"
Ezra 8:13: "and of the last sons of Adonikam, whose names are Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them 60 men."

The slight discrepancy in the number of descendants between Ezra 2:13 and Nehemiah 7:18 is a point of interest for biblical scholars, often attributed to variations in textual transmission or different stages of the return. Adonikam's family is significant in the post-exilic community, contributing to the rebuilding efforts in Jerusalem. The mention of his sons in Ezra 8:13 highlights the continuation of his lineage and their role in the restoration of the Jewish community.
