Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root מָלַךְ (malak), meaning "to reign" or "to be king."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with מַמְלָכוּת is βασιλεία (basileia), which also means "kingdom" or "reign." This term is frequently used in the New Testament to describe the Kingdom of God or the Kingdom of Heaven, reflecting similar themes of divine authority and governance.

Usage: The word מַמְלָכוּת appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often referring to the concept of a kingdom or dominion. It is used to describe both earthly kingdoms and the divine kingdom of God.

Context: מַמְלָכוּת (mamlākût) is a significant term in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting the socio-political and theological dimensions of ancient Israelite society. It is used to describe the territorial and governmental aspects of a kingdom, often highlighting the authority of a king or ruler. The term is employed in narratives, prophetic literature, and poetic texts to convey the idea of a structured and governed realm.

In the historical books, מַמְלָכוּת is frequently used to describe the kingdoms of Israel and Judah, as well as foreign kingdoms. For example, in 1 Samuel 10:16, the term is used in the context of Saul's anointing as king, indicating the establishment of his rule over Israel. Similarly, in 1 Kings 2:12, it describes Solomon's reign: "So Solomon sat on the throne of his father David, and his kingdom was firmly established."

Theologically, מַמְלָכוּת is also used to express the concept of God's sovereign rule. In the Psalms and prophetic writings, it often refers to the eternal and universal dominion of God. For instance, Psalm 145:13 declares, "Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and Your dominion endures through all generations."

The term underscores the biblical theme of divine kingship and the ultimate authority of God over all creation. It serves as a reminder of the transient nature of human kingdoms in contrast to the enduring kingdom of God.
