Strong's Lexicon Rechabam: Rehoboam Original Word: רְחַבְעָם Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew roots רָחַב (rachab, meaning "to be wide" or "to enlarge") and עַם (am, meaning "people"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Rehoboam in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew Bible. However, the name appears in the Greek Septuagint as Ροβοαμ (Roboam). Usage: Rehoboam means "a people enlarged" or "the people are enlarged." In the Bible, Rehoboam is primarily known as the son of Solomon and the grandson of David. He became the first king of the southern kingdom of Judah following the division of the united monarchy of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: Rehoboam's reign marks a significant turning point in Israel's history. After Solomon's death, Rehoboam ascended to the throne around 930 BC. His harsh response to the northern tribes' request for lighter burdens led to the division of the kingdom. The ten northern tribes rejected Rehoboam's rule, leading to the establishment of the separate kingdom of Israel under Jeroboam. Rehoboam's reign in Judah was marked by idolatry and conflict with Egypt, which weakened the kingdom.
