Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָח (ach, meaning "brother") and קוּם (qum, meaning "to rise" or "to stand").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Achikam, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context. Usage: Achikam is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Achikam is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the late Kingdom of Judah. He is identified as the son of Shaphan, a scribe during the reign of King Josiah. Achikam is noted for his role in the religious reforms initiated by King Josiah, particularly in the discovery and subsequent reading of the Book of the Law found in the Temple (2 Kings 22:12-14). He was one of the officials sent by the king to consult the prophetess Huldah regarding the words of the book. Achikam's influence and standing are further highlighted by his protection of the prophet Jeremiah from being executed by the people, as recorded in Jeremiah 26:24: "Nevertheless, Ahikam son of Shaphan supported Jeremiah, so he was not handed over to the people to be put to death." This act of protection underscores Achikam's commitment to justice and his support for the prophetic message during a turbulent period in Judah's history. His legacy continued through his son, Gedaliah, who was appointed governor over the remnant of Judah by the Babylonians after the fall of Jerusalem (2 Kings 25:22).
