Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jehoaddin, as this is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context. However, the concept of divine delight or favor can be related to Greek terms that express similar ideas of divine pleasure or grace, though not directly linked to this specific name.

Usage: This proper noun is used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Jehoaddin, also spelled Jehoaddan, is a biblical figure mentioned in the context of the royal lineage of Judah. She is noted as the wife of King Joash (also known as Jehoash) of Judah and the mother of King Amaziah. Her name signifies a divine favor or delight, reflecting a common practice in Hebrew culture of embedding the name of God (Yahweh) within personal names to convey religious devotion or divine attributes.

Jehoaddin is specifically mentioned in 2 Kings 14:2 and 2 Chronicles 25:1. In 2 Kings 14:2 (BSB), it states: "He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin of Jerusalem." Similarly, 2 Chronicles 25:1 (BSB) records: "Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem."

The mention of Jehoaddin highlights the importance of maternal lineage in the royal records of Judah, emphasizing the role of women in the dynastic history of the Davidic line. Her inclusion in the genealogical accounts underscores the significance of her position as the queen mother, a role that often carried considerable influence in the ancient Near Eastern monarchies.
