Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֵל (El, meaning "God") and שָׁפַט (shaphat, meaning "to judge"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name Elishaphat in the Strong's Greek Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of "God as judge" can be related to Greek terms such as κριτής (kritēs, Strong's Greek 2923), meaning "judge." Usage: Elishaphat is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Elishaphat is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament. The name appears in 2 Chronicles 23:1, where Elishaphat is identified as one of the captains who supported Jehoiada the priest in the overthrow of Queen Athaliah and the restoration of the rightful king, Joash, to the throne of Judah. This event was significant in the history of Judah as it marked the end of Athaliah's usurpation and the re-establishment of the Davidic line. Elishaphat's role as a captain indicates his position of authority and influence, and his participation in this pivotal event underscores his loyalty to the Davidic covenant and the religious reforms associated with Jehoiada.
