Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name יָרָבְעָם (Jarobam) in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. However, the name is transliterated in the Septuagint and other Greek texts as Ἰεροβοάμ (Hieroboam).

Usage: The name יָרָבְעָם (Jarobam) is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to two distinct individuals who were kings in the history of Israel.

Context: • Jeroboam I: The first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the division of the united monarchy. He was originally an official under King Solomon and was later chosen by God to rule over the ten tribes of Israel. His reign is marked by the establishment of alternative worship centers in Bethel and Dan to prevent the people from returning to Jerusalem, which led to idolatry. His actions are often criticized in the biblical narrative for leading Israel into sin. Key passages include 1 Kings 11:26-40, 1 Kings 12:20-33, and 1 Kings 14:1-20.
• Jeroboam II: The son of Joash and the thirteenth king of the northern kingdom of Israel. His reign was characterized by a period of prosperity and expansion, as he restored the boundaries of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the Sea of the Arabah. Despite his military successes, the biblical account criticizes him for continuing the idolatrous practices initiated by Jeroboam I. Key passages include 2 Kings 14:23-29.
