Strong's Lexicon Achiqam: Ahikam Original Word: אֲחִיקָם Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָח (ach, meaning "brother") and קוּם (qum, meaning "to rise" or "to stand"), thus meaning "my brother has risen" or "my brother has been established." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Ahikam in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name without a direct translation in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Ahikam is a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, signifying a person whose brother has been established or has risen. It reflects a familial relationship and a sense of support or establishment. Cultural and Historical Background: Ahikam was a significant figure during the late 7th and early 6th centuries BCE, a time of political turmoil and prophetic activity in Judah. He was the son of Shaphan, a scribe during the reign of King Josiah, and played a crucial role in the religious reforms initiated by the king. Ahikam's family was influential in the court, and he is noted for his support of the prophet Jeremiah during a period of intense opposition.
