Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Nethan-Melek, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: Nethan-Melek is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Nethan-Melek is mentioned in the Old Testament as an official during the reign of King Josiah of Judah. He is specifically noted in 2 Kings 23:11, where he is described as an officer in the court of Josiah. Nethan-Melek played a role in the religious reforms initiated by King Josiah, which aimed to purify the worship practices in Judah by removing idolatrous elements. The text in 2 Kings 23:11 states: "He removed from the entrance of the house of the LORD the horses that the kings of Judah had dedicated to the sun. They were in the court near the room of an official named Nathan-Melech. Josiah then burned the chariots of the sun with fire." This passage highlights Nethan-Melek's association with the royal court and his involvement in the significant religious reforms of the time. His name, meaning "Given of the king," may reflect his position or favor within the royal administration.
