Berean Strong's Lexicon Yoyakin: Jehoiachin Original Word: יוֹיָקִין Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָקִין (yakin), meaning "he will establish." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Jehoiachin in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew context. However, references to Jehoiachin in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) use the transliteration Ιεχονιας (Iechonias). Usage: The name Yoyakin, or Jehoiachin, means "Yahweh will establish." It is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a king of Judah who reigned for a brief period before being taken into Babylonian captivity. Cultural and Historical Background: Jehoiachin was the son of Jehoiakim and the grandson of Josiah, king of Judah. He ascended to the throne at the age of eighteen and reigned for only three months before Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon, besieged Jerusalem and took him captive. This event marked a significant moment in the history of Judah, as it led to the Babylonian Exile, a period of profound transformation for the Jewish people. Jehoiachin's captivity is noted for the eventual release and favor he found in Babylon, as recorded in 2 Kings 25:27-30. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as Yehoyakin, q.v.
