Ἰωάθαμ G2488
Jotham, king of Judah, son of Uzziah, ancestor of Jesus in Matthew's genealogy
Jotham ruled Judah during a period of relative stability and prosperity, building fortifications and defeating the Ammonites (2 Kings 15:32-38; 2 Chronicles 27). Matthew includes him in the genealogy of Jesus (1:9), linking the Messiah to the Davidic line through this righteous king who 'did what was right in the eyes of the Lord' (2 Kings 15:34). His name, meaning 'YHWH is perfect' or 'YHWH is upright,' fits his reputation as one of Judah's better monarchs.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The name appears twice in Matthew 1:9, once as son of Uzziah and once as father of Ahaz, establishing the genealogical chain. The multilingual glosses preserve the Hebrew-derived name through Greek transliteration (Ἰωάθαμ), with minor variations across languages (French 'Joatham', German 'Jotham'). His inclusion in the Messianic lineage affirms God's faithfulness across generations, even through the complex history of Judah's monarchy. 2×
