Strong's Lexicon Konyahu: Coniah Original Word: כּוֹנְיָהוּ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root כּוּן (kun), meaning "to establish" or "to be firm," combined with יָהּ (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Coniah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, but the name Jeconiah appears in the genealogy of Jesus in the New Testament (Matthew 1:11-12). Usage: Konyahu, or Coniah, is a shortened form of Jeconiah, meaning "Yahweh will establish." It refers to a king of Judah, the son of Jehoiakim, and a descendant of David. His reign was marked by the Babylonian conquest, and he was taken into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar. Cultural and Historical Background: Coniah, also known as Jeconiah or Jehoiachin, was the penultimate king of Judah before the Babylonian exile. His reign lasted for only three months and ten days before he was deposed and taken to Babylon. His captivity marked a significant turning point in Jewish history, as it led to the Babylonian exile, a period of profound transformation for the Jewish people. Despite his short reign, Coniah's lineage is significant in the Davidic line, as he is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ in the New Testament.
