Eli'akim. (raised up by God).

1. Son of Hilkiah, master of Hezekiah's household, ("over the house," as), Isaiah 36:3. 2 Kings 18:18; 2 Kings 18:26; 2 Kings 18:37. (B.C. 713). Eliakim was a good man, as appears by the title emphatically applied to him by God, "my servant Eliakim," Isaiah 22:20, and also in the discharge of the duties of his high station, in which he acted as a "father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah." Isaiah 22:21.

2. The original name of Jehoiakim, king of Judah. 2 Kings 23:34; 2 Chronicles 36:4.

3. A priest, in the days of Nehemiah, who assisted at the dedication of the new wall of Jerusalem. Nehemiah 12:41. (B.C. 446).

4. Eldest son of Abiud or Judah; brother of Joseph, and father of Azor. Matthew 1:13.

5. Son of Melea, and father of Jonan. Luke 3:30-31.
