Strong's Lexicon Tsidqiyyahu or Tsidqiyyah: Zedekiah Original Word: צִדְקִיָּהוּ or צִדְקִיָּה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צֶדֶק (tsedeq), meaning "righteousness" or "justice," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Zedekiah in the Septuagint or New Testament, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The name Tsidqiyyahu or Tsidqiyyah means "Yahweh is my righteousness" or "The Lord is my righteousness." It is used primarily as a proper name for individuals in the Hebrew Bible. Cultural and Historical Background: Zedekiah was the last king of Judah before the Babylonian conquest. He reigned from approximately 597 to 586 BC. Appointed by Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon, Zedekiah's reign was marked by political instability and conflict. Despite being a vassal king, he rebelled against Babylon, leading to the siege of Jerusalem and the eventual destruction of the city and the Temple. His reign is a significant period in Jewish history, marking the end of the Davidic line of kings until the post-exilic period.
