Strong's Lexicon Abiyyam: Abijam Original Word: אֲביָּם Word Origin: Derived from אָב (ab, meaning "father") and יָם (yam, meaning "sea" or "people"), possibly meaning "father of the sea" or "father of the people." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Abijam in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name specific to the Old Testament. Usage: Abijam is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a king of Judah, the son of Rehoboam and the grandson of Solomon. The name is sometimes interpreted as "my father is the sea" or "my father is the people," reflecting a possible royal or divine connotation. Cultural and Historical Background: Abijam was the second king of the southern kingdom of Judah, reigning during the divided monarchy period after the united kingdom of Israel split following Solomon's reign. His reign is noted for continuing the practices of his father, Rehoboam, and for his conflict with Jeroboam, the king of the northern kingdom of Israel. Abijam's rule is characterized by a short reign and a continuation of the religious and political policies of his predecessors.
