Strong's Lexicon Yoqtheel: Joktheel Original Word: יָקְתְאֵל Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Yoqth'el Pronunciation: yok-theh-EL Phonetic Spelling: (yok-theh-ale') Definition: Joktheel Meaning: "Subdued by God" or "God's subduing." Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָקָה (yakah), meaning "to be obedient" or "to be subdued," combined with אֵל (El), meaning "God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun Joktheel in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a direct Greek counterpart. However, the concept of divine subjugation or victory can be related to Greek terms that convey similar themes of divine power and authority. Usage: Joktheel is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to two distinct locations: a. A city in the territory of Judah. b. A city in Edom, renamed by King Amaziah after his conquest. Context: Joktheel appears in the Hebrew Bible as the name of two different locations: a. Joktheel in Judah: This city is mentioned in the context of the tribal allotments in the Book of Joshua. It is listed among the cities in the lowland region of Judah. The specific location of this Joktheel is not precisely known today, but it is part of the geographical description of Judah's inheritance. b. Joktheel in Edom: This city is referenced in 2 Kings 14:7, where it is noted that King Amaziah of Judah defeated ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt and captured the city of Sela, renaming it Joktheel. This renaming signifies Amaziah's victory and the subjugation of the city under the power of God. The historical and geographical identification of this Joktheel is associated with the ancient city of Sela, which is often linked to the region of Petra in modern-day Jordan. The name Joktheel, meaning "subdued by God," reflects the theological perspective that victories and conquests are ultimately attributed to divine intervention and authority.
