1. Amaziah (proper name) — A masculine proper name meaning 'Yah(weh) is mighty' (from אמץ 'to be strong' + יה/יהו theophoric element), appearing in two orthographic variants: the longer form אֲמַצְיָהוּ (Amatsyahu) predominantly in Kings, and the shorter form אֲמַצְיָה (Amatsyah) in Kings, Chronicles, and Amos. The name is borne by at least two distinct individuals: (1) Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash and father of Azariah/Uzziah (2 Kgs 12:21; 14:1-21; 15:1, 3; 2 Chr 24:27; 25:1-27), and (2) Amaziah the priest of Bethel who opposed the prophet Amos (Amos 7:10, 12, 14). All four clusters represent the same proper noun, with differences arising only from the two standard orthographic forms of the theophoric suffix (-yahu vs. -yah) and prepositional prefixes (ל 'of/to' and ב 'against/in'), not from genuinely distinct lexicographic senses. 40×
