Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָמַץ (amats), meaning "to be strong" or "to be courageous," combined with יָה (Yah), a shortened form of Yahweh, the name of God. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name Amatsjah in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. However, the concept of divine strength or might can be related to Greek terms such as δυνατός (dunatos, Strong's Greek 1415), meaning "mighty" or "powerful," often used in the context of God's power. Usage: The name Amatsjah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, referring to several individuals, most notably a king of Judah. Context: • Amatsjah, King of Judah: Amatsjah was the son of Joash and became the ninth king of Judah. His reign is recorded in 2 Kings 14 and 2 Chronicles 25. He ascended to the throne after the assassination of his father, Joash. Amatsjah is noted for initially doing what was right in the eyes of the LORD, though not with a perfect heart. He executed the servants who had killed his father but spared their children, in accordance with the Mosaic Law (2 Kings 14:6; 2 Chronicles 25:4). Amatsjah organized a military campaign against Edom, achieving a significant victory in the Valley of Salt. However, his later decision to bring back and worship the gods of Edom led to his downfall. His pride and subsequent challenge to Jehoash, king of Israel, resulted in a humiliating defeat and the plundering of Jerusalem. Amatsjah's reign ended with a conspiracy against him, and he was ultimately killed in Lachish. • Other Individuals Named Amatsjah: The name also appears in genealogical records and among the Levitical families, though these references are less prominent.
