Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and יָקִים (yakim, meaning "will establish" or "raises up").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1662 (Ἐλιακείμ • Eliakeim): This Greek entry corresponds to the Hebrew אֶלְיָקִים and is used in the New Testament genealogies to refer to the same individual mentioned in the lineage of Jesus Christ, as seen in Matthew 1:13.

The name Eliakim, meaning "God will establish," reflects a theme of divine appointment and stability, underscoring the belief in God's sovereignty and providence in the affairs of His people.

Usage: The name אֶלְיָקִים (Eljakim) is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to several individuals.

He is mentioned in 2 Kings 18:18, 26, 37 and Isaiah 36:3, 11, 22. Eliakim was appointed over the household, a position of significant authority, replacing Shebna. His role was crucial during the Assyrian siege of Jerusalem, where he acted as a spokesperson and intermediary between King Hezekiah and the Assyrian officials.
• Eliakim, son of Josiah: Another Eliakim is the son of King Josiah of Judah. He was renamed Jehoiakim by Pharaoh Necho of Egypt when he was placed on the throne of Judah, as recorded in 2 Kings 23:34. His reign is noted for its political turmoil and subjugation to foreign powers.
