Achazeyah
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 H274-02
Yah has seized
| Morphological Notes | Masculine proper name (HNp); theophoric compound of a verbal element from אחז and the divine name Yah (יָהּ/יָהוּ). |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines the root אחז (to seize, grasp) with the theophoric element יָהּ (Yah), yielding the meaning "Yah has seized." Rendering it this way preserves both the verbal root sense and the implied perfective force embedded in the theophoric name form. |
