Yeqamyah/Jokmeam, personal name in Judahite genealogy
A personal name meaning something like 'Yahweh will establish' or 'may Yah raise up,' built on the root קום (to arise, stand, establish). The name appears three times in 1 Chronicles' genealogies, all within the tribe of Judah: twice in 2:41 (suggesting a textual repetition or two individuals with the same name in close genealogical proximity) and once in 3:18 among the descendants of Jeconiah, Judah's exiled king. The name's theophoric element expresses hope in Yahweh's establishing or confirming action—particularly poignant in the context of royal genealogy after exile.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A Judahite personal name invoking Yahweh's establishing or raising up. The occurrence in the line of Jeconiah (1 Chronicles 3:18) connects this name to the exiled royal family, making it a small but significant marker in the genealogical thread that early Christians would trace to Jesus. The double occurrence in 2:41 may represent scribal repetition or two distinct individuals. Greek variants (Ιεχεμειας, Ιεκομιας, Ιακεμιας) show standard transliteration variation. 3×
