Strong's Lexicon Artachshashta': Artaxerxes Original Word: אַרְתַּחְשַׁשְׁתָּא Word Origin: Of Persian origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance for Artachshashta', as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew text. However, the Greek Septuagint uses the name Ἀρταξέρξης (Artaxerxes) in corresponding passages. Usage: The name "Artachshashta'" refers to a Persian king mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is commonly associated with Artaxerxes I and Artaxerxes II, rulers of the Achaemenid Empire. The name is used to denote the authority and influence of these kings, particularly in relation to the Jewish people during the post-exilic period. Cultural and Historical Background: Artaxerxes I reigned from 465-424 BC and is noted for his interactions with the Jewish community, particularly in the context of the rebuilding of Jerusalem and its temple. The Persian Empire, under the rule of Artaxerxes, was a dominant force in the ancient Near East, and its policies significantly impacted the Jewish exiles returning from Babylon. Artaxerxes II reigned from 404-358 BC, and while less directly involved with the Jewish community, his reign continued the policies of his predecessors.
