Jehucal
Holman Bible Dictionary
(jih hyoo' cal) Personal name meaning, “Yahweh proves to be mighty.” Messenger King Zedekiah sent to ask Jeremiah to pray for him as he began to rule. Apparently, Zedekiah wanted blessing on his efforts to cooperate with Egypt against Babylon about 587 B.C. (Jeremiah 37:3 ). Jucal in Jeremiah 38:1 is probably a shortened form of the same name. See Jucal .
