Strong's Lexicon Yehoyaqim: Jehoiakim Original Word: יְהוֹיָקִים Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words יְהוֹ (Yehovah, meaning "the LORD") and קוּם (qum, meaning "to establish" or "to raise up"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Jehoiakim in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew context. However, references to Jehoiakim in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) use the transliteration Ιωακιμ (Ioakim). Usage: The name Yehoyaqim means "Yahweh raises up" or "the LORD establishes." It is used in the Bible to refer to a king of Judah, the son of Josiah, who reigned during a tumultuous period in Judah's history. Cultural and Historical Background: Jehoiakim was the second son of King Josiah and was originally named Eliakim. He was appointed king by Pharaoh Necho II of Egypt after the deposition of his brother Jehoahaz. Jehoiakim's reign (circa 609–598 BC) was marked by political instability and shifting allegiances between Egypt and Babylon. He is often remembered for his opposition to the prophet Jeremiah and his disregard for the warnings of impending judgment.
