Malkiyah / Malchijah — a theophoric name meaning 'my king is Yah,' borne by priests, Levites, and officials.
A theophoric personal name composed of melek ('king') and Yah (the divine name), meaning 'my king is the LORD.' It is borne by at least ten different individuals scattered across Chronicles, Ezra, Nehemiah, and Jeremiah. Among the most notable are the priest whose descendant Pashhur served in Jerusalem (1 Chr 9:12; Neh 11:12; Jer 21:1; 38:1), the priestly course assigned the fifth lot in David's temple organization (1 Chr 24:9), and the royal prince who owned the cistern into which Jeremiah was cast (Jer 38:6). Several bearers appear in the postexilic community: men who divorced foreign wives (Ezra 10:25, 31), builders who repaired Jerusalem's walls (Neh 3:11, 14, 31), and a participant in the dedication ceremony (Neh 12:42). Spanish 'Malquiya,' French 'Malkija,' and German 'Malkija' uniformly transliterate.
