However, the concept of "opening" or "giving sight" can be related to Greek words like ἀνοίγω (anoigo - to open) or φῶς (phos - light).<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The name Peqachyah means "Yahweh has opened" or "Yahweh has given sight." It is used as a proper name for a king of Israel in the Old Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Peqachyah was the son of Menahem and became the king of Israel, reigning in Samaria. His reign is noted for its brevity and turmoil, as he ruled for only two years before being assassinated by one of his own military officers, Pekah, who then succeeded him as king. This period in Israel's history was marked by political instability and frequent changes in leadership, often through violent means. The northern kingdom of Israel was in decline, facing external threats from Assyria and internal strife.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6491b.htm">paqach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"Yah has opened (the eyes)," a king of Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Pekahiah (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מְּקַחְיָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>king of Israel</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">י</font> <em>hath opened</em> the eyes);
