Strong's Lexicon Adoniyyahu: Adonijah Original Word: אֲדֹנִיָּהוּ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words אֲדוֹן (Adon, meaning "lord" or "master") and יָהּ (Yah, a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Adoniyyahu, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of "lord" can be related to the Greek word κύριος (kurios), often used in the New Testament to refer to the Lord. Usage: The name Adoniyyahu means "My Lord is Yahweh" or "Yahweh is my Lord." It is used as a proper name for individuals in the Hebrew Bible, most notably for one of King David's sons. Cultural and Historical Background: Adonijah was the fourth son of King David, born to Haggith. He is most known for his attempt to usurp the throne of Israel during David's old age, despite Solomon being the chosen successor. This event highlights the political intrigue and familial tensions within the royal household of Israel. Adonijah's account is set against the backdrop of the Davidic dynasty, a critical period in Israel's history where the monarchy was being established and consolidated.
