Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: מֶלֶךְ (melek), meaning "king," and יֵשַׁע (yesha), meaning "salvation."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for Malkishua, as it is a Hebrew proper noun specific to the Old Testament context. However, the themes of kingship and salvation are echoed in various Greek terms related to Jesus Christ, such as βασιλεύς (basileus, "king") and σωτηρία (soteria, "salvation").

Usage: Malkishua is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Malkishua is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament. He is identified as one of the sons of King Saul, the first king of Israel. Malkishua is listed among Saul's sons who fought alongside their father in the battle against the Philistines at Mount Gilboa. This battle is significant as it led to the downfall of Saul's reign and the rise of David as the next king of Israel.
• In 1 Samuel 31:2 (BSB), the narrative describes the tragic end of Saul and his sons: "The Philistines pursued Saul and his sons, and they killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malkishua, the sons of Saul." This verse highlights the demise of Malkishua, along with his brothers, during the conflict with the Philistines.
• Malkishua's name, meaning "My king is salvation," reflects a theologically rich concept, emphasizing reliance on divine deliverance and kingship. Despite his untimely death, the name Malkishua serves as a reminder of the hope and salvation that comes from God, a recurring theme throughout the biblical narrative.
