Thus, Jokim can be understood to mean "Yahweh raises up" or "Yahweh establishes."<br><br><b>Biblical References:</b> <br>Jokim is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. In <a href="/1_chronicles/4-22.htm">1 Chronicles 4:22</a>, Jokim is listed among the descendants of Shelah, one of the sons of Judah. The verse reads: "And Jokim, the men of Cozeba, Joash, and Saraph, who ruled in Moab and Jashubi-Lehem. These records are from ancient times" .<br><br><b>Historical and Cultural Context:</b> <br>The genealogies in 1 Chronicles serve to establish the lineage and heritage of the tribes of Israel, particularly focusing on the tribe of Judah, from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended. The mention of Jokim, though brief, situates him within the broader narrative of Judah's descendants, highlighting the continuity and faithfulness of God's promises to His people.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>While Jokim himself is not a prominent figure in biblical narratives, his inclusion in the genealogical record underscores the importance of every individual in God's redemptive history. Each name in these genealogies represents a link in the chain of God's covenantal promises, demonstrating His sovereignty and faithfulness across generations.<br><br><b>Related Locations:</b> <br>The mention of "the men of Cozeba" alongside Jokim suggests a connection to a specific location or group within the tribe of Judah. Cozeba, also known as Chezib, is a town in the lowlands of Judah. This association may indicate Jokim's familial or territorial ties, reflecting the tribal and familial structures that were central to Israelite society.<br><br><b>Connections to Other Biblical Figures:</b> <br>Jokim's lineage ties him to the broader narrative of Judah's descendants, which includes notable figures such as Perez, Hezron, and ultimately King David. This connection emphasizes the fulfillment of God's promises to Judah, as prophesied in <a href="/genesis/49-10.htm">Genesis 49:10</a>: "The scepter will not depart from Judah, nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, until Shiloh comes, and to him shall be the obedience of the peoples" .<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br>Though Jokim is a minor figure in the biblical text, his presence in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles highlights the intricate tapestry of God's plan for His people. Each name, including Jokim's, contributes to the unfolding account of redemption and the establishment of God's kingdom through the line of Judah.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jokim</span><p>that made the sun stand still<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jokim</span><p>(<i>whom Jehovah has set up</i>), one of the sons of Shelah the son of Judah.
