Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name Jerocham in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of compassion, inherent in the name, can be related to Greek terms such as οἰκτιρμός (oiktirmos, Strong's Greek 3628), meaning "compassion" or "mercy."

Usage: Jerocham is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It appears in various genealogical and historical contexts.

Context: Jerocham is a name found in the Old Testament, associated with several individuals:

• Jerocham of Levi: Another Jerocham is noted as a Levite, the father of Adaiah, who served in the temple during the reign of King Josiah. This Jerocham is mentioned in 1 Chronicles 9:12, highlighting his role in the religious life of Israel.

• Jerocham of Ephraim: In 1 Chronicles 27:22, Jerocham is listed as a leader of the tribe of Ephraim during the reign of King David, indicating his prominence in the military and administrative structure of the kingdom.

• Jerocham of Judah: In 2 Chronicles 23:1, Jerocham is mentioned as the father of Azariah, one of the leaders who supported the young King Joash in overthrowing Queen Athaliah, demonstrating his involvement in the political and religious reforms of the time.

The name Jerocham, with its root meaning of compassion, reflects the hope for divine mercy and favor, a theme that resonates throughout the biblical narrative.
