Strong's Lexicon Yehoyada: Jehoiada Original Word: יְהוֹיָדָע Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: יהוה (YHWH, "the LORD") and ידע (yada, "to know"), meaning "Yahweh knows" or "the LORD knows." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Jehoiada in the Septuagint or New Testament, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of priestly leadership and covenant faithfulness can be seen in Greek terms related to priesthood and divine knowledge. Usage: Yehoyada, or Jehoiada, is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a prominent priest during the reign of King Joash of Judah. The name signifies the belief in God's omniscience and His intimate involvement in the affairs of His people. Cultural and Historical Background: Jehoiada was a high priest in the Kingdom of Judah, known for his pivotal role in preserving the Davidic line. During a time of political upheaval, Jehoiada orchestrated the overthrow of Queen Athaliah, who had usurped the throne and sought to eliminate the royal lineage. By crowning Joash, the rightful heir, Jehoiada ensured the continuation of the Davidic dynasty, which was crucial for the fulfillment of God's covenant promises to David. His leadership was marked by a commitment to restoring the worship of Yahweh and reforming the religious practices of Judah.
