Strong's Lexicon Athalyah or Athlay: Athaliah Original Word: עֲתַלְיָה Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: עָתַל (athal), meaning "to be afflicted" or "to constrain," and יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of the God of Israel. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Athaliah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as she is primarily a figure in the Hebrew Scriptures. Usage: Athaliah means "Yahweh is exalted" or "afflicted by Yahweh." In the Bible, Athaliah is primarily known as the daughter of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel of Israel, and the wife of King Jehoram of Judah. She is most infamous for her usurpation of the throne of Judah and her attempt to exterminate the royal line of David. Cultural and Historical Background: Athaliah lived during a tumultuous period in the history of the divided kingdoms of Israel and Judah. As the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel, she was influenced by the idolatrous practices of her parents, which she brought into Judah. Her marriage to Jehoram was likely a political alliance between the northern and southern kingdoms. After the death of her son, King Ahaziah, Athaliah seized the throne and ruled as queen for six years, during which she promoted Baal worship and attempted to eliminate the Davidic line, a direct challenge to God's covenant with David.
