Chizeqi
and Hizki
A personal Israelite name meaning 'my strength is' or 'Yahweh strengthens.' The name forms part of a common biblical pattern where a verb or noun from a root denoting strength (here, חָזַק, 'to be strong') is combined with a pronominal suffix to indicate 'my' and sometimes with theophoric elements (such as the divine name Yahweh). The lexical value is distinct from the adjective 'strong' and is specifically a proper name identifying an individual.
