Strong's Lexicon Yekonyah or Yekonyahu or Yekoneyah: Jeconiah or Jehoiachin Original Word: יְכָנְיָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Ykonyah Pronunciation: yeh-ko-nyah or yeh-ko-nyah-hoo Phonetic Spelling: (yek-on-yaw') Definition: Jekonjah Meaning: "Yahweh will establish" or "Jehovah will establish." Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָכִין (yakin) meaning "he will establish" and יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2423: Ἰεχονίας (Iechonias) • This is the Greek form of the name Jeconiah, used in the New Testament, specifically in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 1:11-12). Usage: Jekonjah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers specifically to a king of Judah. Context: • Jekonjah is an alternate form of the name Jehoiachin, who was the son of Jehoiakim and the king of Judah. His reign was brief, lasting only three months and ten days, as recorded in 2 Kings 24:8 and 2 Chronicles 36:9. During his reign, Jerusalem was besieged by Nebuchadnezzar II, king of Babylon, leading to Jekonjah's surrender and subsequent deportation to Babylon along with his family and many of the elite of Judah (2 Kings 24:12-15). • Jekonjah's captivity marked a significant event in the history of Judah, as it was part of the larger Babylonian exile. Despite his captivity, he was later shown favor by Evil-Merodach, the king of Babylon, who released him from prison and gave him a place of honor at the royal table (2 Kings 25:27-30). • The name Jekonjah is significant in the genealogical records of the Bible, appearing in the lineage of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 1:11-12), where he is referred to as Jeconiah. • Theologically, Jekonjah's life and reign are often discussed in the context of divine judgment and mercy, illustrating the consequences of disobedience to God as well as the hope of restoration.
