Transliteration: Yehoshaphat
Pronunciation: yeh-ho-shaw-fat'
Phonetic Spelling: (yeh-ho-shaw-fawt')
Definition: Jehoshaphat
Meaning: Jehoshaphat

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words יְהוֹ (Yehovah, meaning "the LORD") and שָׁפַט (shaphat, meaning "to judge").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yehoshaphat in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the Greek transliteration in the Septuagint is Ιωσαφατ (Iosaphat).

Usage: The name Yehoshaphat means "The LORD has judged" or "Yahweh judges." It is used primarily as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible, most notably for the fourth king of the Kingdom of Judah. The name reflects a theological assertion of God's sovereignty and justice.

Cultural and Historical Background: Jehoshaphat was the son of Asa and the fourth king of Judah, reigning in the 9th century BC. His reign is noted for religious reforms and efforts to bring the people back to the worship of Yahweh. He is also known for his political alliances, including a notable alliance with Ahab, king of Israel. Jehoshaphat's reign was marked by relative peace and prosperity, attributed to his faithfulness to God.
