1. Elyaqim (proper name) — The proper name Elyaqim (אֶלְיָקִים, 'God raises up'), borne by multiple OT figures: (1) the son of Hilkiah, steward of King Hezekiah's palace (2 Kgs 18:18, Isa 22:20, 36:3), (2) the original name of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah (2 Kgs 23:34, 2 Chr 36:4). All three sense clusters are the same name in different syntactic frames—nominative, with preposition lamed ('to Eliakim'), and with conjunction waw. Cross-linguistically stable: spa Eliaquim, hin एल्याकीम, arb أَلْيَاقِيمُ, kor 엘리야킴, swa Eliakimu. 12×
