3379. Yarobam

Strong's Lexicon

Yarobam: Jeroboam

Original Word: יָרָבְעָם
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Yarob`am
Pronunciation: yah-roh-VAHM
Phonetic Spelling: (yaw-rob-awm')
Definition: Jeroboam
Meaning: Jarobam

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root רָבַב (ravav), meaning "to be numerous" or "to multiply," combined with עַם (am), meaning "people."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Jeroboam in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper name specific to the Hebrew context.

Usage: The name Jeroboam means "the people will contend" or "he increases the people." It is used in the Bible to refer to two kings of Israel. The first Jeroboam was the son of Nebat, who became the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel after the division of the united monarchy. The second Jeroboam, also known as Jeroboam II, was the son of Joash and the thirteenth king of the northern kingdom.

Cultural and Historical Background: Jeroboam I was a significant figure in Israel's history, as he led the ten northern tribes in rebellion against Rehoboam, Solomon's son, resulting in the division of the united kingdom of Israel around 930 BC. Jeroboam established the northern kingdom's capital in Shechem and later in Penuel. He is known for setting up golden calves in Bethel and Dan, leading Israel into idolatry. Jeroboam II reigned during a period of prosperity and expansion for Israel, but like his namesake, he continued the idolatrous practices that characterized the northern kingdom.
