Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew components יְהוֹ (Yehô), a shortened form of יְהוָה (Yahweh), meaning "the LORD," and קוּם (qûm), meaning "to raise" or "to establish."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Jehoiakim in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a proper Hebrew name. However, references to Jehoiakim in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) would use a transliteration of the Hebrew name. Usage: Jehoiakim is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a king of Judah. Context: Jehoiakim was the son of Josiah, king of Judah, and was originally named Eliakim. He was appointed king by Pharaoh Necho of Egypt, who changed his name to Jehoiakim. His reign is noted for its political turmoil and spiritual decline. Jehoiakim reigned for eleven years from approximately 609 to 598 BC. During his reign, he was a vassal to Egypt and later to Babylon, after Nebuchadnezzar II defeated Egypt at the Battle of Carchemish. Jehoiakim is often remembered for his rebellion against Babylonian rule, which led to the first Babylonian siege of Jerusalem. His reign is characterized by his disregard for prophetic warnings and his oppressive policies, as noted in the prophetic books of Jeremiah and 2 Kings. In 2 Kings 23:36-24:6, Jehoiakim's reign is summarized, highlighting his evil deeds in the sight of the LORD. Jeremiah 36 recounts Jehoiakim's burning of the scroll containing Jeremiah's prophecies, illustrating his contempt for divine messages. His death is shrouded in mystery, with some accounts suggesting he died during the Babylonian siege, while others imply he was killed and his body was cast outside the city gates.
