This personal name, meaning "he lifts up" or "he establishes," designates two individuals in the Chronicler's genealogies. The first appears in the Benjamite family tree, while the second represents a Levitical division in David's reorganization of temple service. The name has Sabaean parallels (Yahqam), showing its currency in the broader Semitic world. One occurrence includes a prepositional prefix ("for Yaqim"), indicating a lottery assignment for priestly courses.
