Achazeyah
to Ahaziah
Proper name, masculine: Ahazyahu (shortened Ahazyah). Refers to two different Israelite monarchs in the Hebrew Bible—Ahazyahu son of Ahab, king of Israel (Northern kingdom), and Ahazyahu son of Jehoram, king of Judah (Southern kingdom). The name means 'Yahweh has grasped' or 'Yahweh has seized,' indicating divine involvement or empowerment associated with the root meaning 'to seize.' The term functions exclusively as a proper name and does not carry a broader semantic field outside these personal contexts.

SIBI-P1 Translation H274-03
to Yah-has-grasped
| Morphological Notes | Preposition ל ('to/for') prefixed to masculine singular proper name אֲחַזְיָהוּ (Ahazyahu). |
| Rendering Rationale | The proper name derives from אחז (to seize) combined with Yah, meaning 'Yah has grasped.' The prefixed ל indicates direction ('to'), so the form is rendered 'to Yah-has-grasped,' preserving both the root meaning and the prepositional morphology. |
