Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Mikajah in the Strong's Concordance. However, the Greek name Μιχαίας (Michaías), corresponding to the Hebrew מִיכָיָה (Mikayah), can be found in the Septuagint and New Testament references to the prophet Micah.

Usage: The name Mikajah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to individuals who bear this name, emphasizing the uniqueness and incomparability of Yahweh.

Context: Mikajah, also spelled Micaiah, is a theophoric name found in the Hebrew Bible, meaning "Who is like Yahweh?" This name reflects a common theme in Hebrew names, which often incorporate elements of God's name to convey a message of faith or divine attribute. The name Mikajah is associated with several individuals in the biblical narrative, each serving different roles and contexts.

One notable bearer of the name is Micaiah, the son of Imlah, a prophet during the reign of King Ahab of Israel. In 1 Kings 22 and 2 Chronicles 18, Micaiah is summoned by King Ahab to prophesy concerning the outcome of a battle at Ramoth-gilead. Despite pressure to conform to the favorable prophecies of other prophets, Micaiah delivers a message of impending defeat, demonstrating his commitment to speaking the truth as revealed by Yahweh, regardless of the consequences.

The name Mikajah underscores the central biblical theme of God's incomparability and sovereignty. It serves as a reminder of the prophetic role in Israel, where prophets were called to faithfully communicate God's word, often in the face of opposition and danger.
