558. Amatsyahu or Amatsyah
Strong's Lexicon
Amatsyahu or Amatsyah: Amaziah

Original Word: אֲמַצְיָהוּ or אֲמַצְיָה
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Amatsyahu or Amatsyah
Pronunciation: ah-mats-YAH-hoo or ah-mats-YAH
Phonetic Spelling: (am-ats-yaw')
Definition: Amaziah
Meaning: Amatsjah

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָמַץ (amats), meaning "to be strong" or "to be courageous," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Amaziah, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates it as Αμασιας (Amasias).

Usage: The name Amaziah means "Yahweh is mighty" or "Yahweh is strong." It is used as a personal name for several individuals in the Hebrew Bible, most notably a king of Judah.

Cultural and Historical Background: Amaziah was the ninth king of Judah, the son of Joash. His reign is noted for both military successes and failures, as well as religious reforms. He initially followed the ways of the Lord but later turned to idolatry, which led to his downfall. His account reflects the broader narrative of the kings of Judah, who often struggled between faithfulness to God and the temptations of surrounding pagan practices.
