Talk:Zedekiah

message: 2 Chronicles 36:10 states that Zedekiah was brother rather than uncle of Jeconiah (Jeoiachin).  This is almost certainly in error, but it would seem to be deserving of a mention. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Opaanderson (talk • contribs) 18:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Gesenisus's Lexicon, the word ah (h is hard), usually translated "brother", also has the meaning of "any relative, kinsman." Examples are Genesis 13:8 and 14:16, where it is used for Abraham's relationship to his nephew Lot. In Genesis 9:12 Jacob uses it to refer to his uncle Laban. In 2 Chronicles 36:10 it therefore can be translated as "uncle," and comparison with 2 Kings 24:17 indicates that this is the proper translation there (as is done in the NIV).

thread_title:  Zedekiah's lineage 

message: Concerning the passage below, the biblical references there cited do not refer to the quotation given.  In fact, I can't find the quotation anywhere in the King James version....  I'm assuming that the quotation marks are supposed to refer to a source that identifies the woes identified in the biblical passages supplied as being "the worst woe[s]" but if so, this source should be cited.
During this siege, which lasted about thirty months, "every worst woe befell the devoted city, which drank the cup of God's fury to the dregs". (2 Kings 25:3; Lamentations 4:4, 5, 9)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bbrown29 (talk • contribs) 17:09, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Every worst woe" citation 

message: The alternative translation of Zedekiah as "Priest of Ah" (inserted after mention of Nebuchadnezzar's designation of this throne name for the new king, at the end of the section titled Genealogical note), is news, to say the least (with or without revocalisation and resegmentation → Zadok-i-Ah). Just for starters, at the time of this post it is found nowhere on the entire Internet, except in this article, and in a copy of it on Answers.com.
Zadok/Ṣāḏôq does not even mean "priest", although there was a well-known priest of King David's time by that name. The name may mean "righteous" like its cognate adjective (t)zadik/ṣaddîq, as the well-known Brown-Driver-Briggs lexicon suggests. As already indicated at the start of the article, (T)zidkiyyahu/Ṣiḏqiyyā́hû means "YHWH is my righteousness"; the latter phrase in bold translates Hebrew (t)zidkiy/ṣiḏqiy (→ṣiḏqî when standing alone...), which in turn is derived by simple and straightforward application of Hebrew grammar from (t)zedek/ṣéḏeq "righteousness".
I am removing this translation as utterly unsupported.  If anyone wishes to restore it, they should provide a reference that is a bona fide peer-reviewed secondary source. IfYouDoIfYouDon't (talk) 10:50, 16 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Maybe there's nothing in it, but there's a whole book called The Last Kings of Judah: Zedekiah and Sedekias in the Hebrew and Old Greek Versions of Jeremiah 37 44 :1-40 47 :6 which discusses the differences between the Hebrew and the Greek texts.
