יְהוֹיָקִים, H3137
Yoqim — personal name of a Judahite (1 Chr 4:22)
This name appears in the genealogies of Judah, though it shares consonants with Jehoiakim, the last king before the Babylonian conquest. The root suggests 'he raises up,' a common theophoric element. The Chronicles genealogies preserve clan memory and tribal identity, maintaining historical connections even for figures who appear only once in Scripture.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A Judahite listed in the tribal genealogies. The single occurrence in 1 Chronicles 4:22 with a coordinating conjunction shows this as part of a family registry. Spanish ('Y-Yoquim') and French maintain the transliteration, treating it as a proper designation. The name's theological overtones of divine exaltation were common in Israelite naming practices. 1×
