Strong's Lexicon Towb Adoniyahuw: Tob-Adonijah Original Word: טוֹב אֲדֹנִיָּהוּ Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: טוֹב (towb) meaning "good" or "pleasant," and אֲדֹנִיָּהוּ (Adoniyahuw) meaning "my lord is Yahweh." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Towb Adoniyahuw," but the concept of "good" is often translated as ἀγαθός (agathos, Strong's Greek 18) in the New Testament, and "lord" as κύριος (kyrios, Strong's Greek 2962). Usage: The name "Towb Adoniyahuw" can be understood as "Good is my lord Yahweh" or "Yahweh is my good lord." It is a compound name that reflects a theophoric element, indicating a relationship or attribute of Yahweh. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names often carried significant meanings and were sometimes used to express the faith or circumstances of the individual or their family. The use of the name "Adoniyahuw" suggests a recognition of Yahweh's lordship, which was a central tenet of Israelite religion. The addition of "Towb" emphasizes the goodness or favor associated with Yahweh.
