Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Yaphia in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text.

Usage:Yaphia is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with a king of Lachish, a city in the Shephelah region of ancient Judah. The name Yaphia carries the connotation of brightness or beauty, reflecting the root meaning of "to shine."

Cultural and Historical Background:In the context of the ancient Near East, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or destiny. Lachish was a significant city-state during the time of the Israelite conquest and the period of the divided monarchy. It was strategically important due to its location and fortifications. The mention of Yaphia as a king of Lachish situates him within the broader narrative of the Israelite conquest of Canaan, as recorded in the book of Joshua.
