Strong's Lexicon Regem Melek: Regem-Melek Original Word: רֶגֶם מֶלֶךְ Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: רֶגֶם (Regem) meaning "heap" or "pile" and מֶלֶךְ (Melek) meaning "king." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Regem-Melek in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of "king" is represented by the Greek word βασιλεύς (basileus) in the New Testament. Usage: Regem-Melek is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. The name can be interpreted as "king of the heap" or "king of the pile," which may imply a position of authority or leadership, possibly in a specific context or location. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's role, status, or character. The combination of "Regem" and "Melek" suggests a person of notable standing, possibly a leader or ruler. The use of compound names was common in Hebrew culture, reflecting both personal and divine attributes or aspirations.
