SIBI-P1 H2396-06

to Yah-Has-Strengthened

Morphological NotesProper masculine singular noun (personal name) with prefixed preposition לְ (“to/for”). The name is a theophoric construction built from חזק in a verbal form plus יהו (Yah).
Rendering RationaleThe name חִזְקִיָּהוּ (Chizqiyahu) combines the root חזק (to be strong, to strengthen) with the theophoric element יהו (Yah). The prefixed לְ indicates "to" or "for," so the full form means "to Yah-Has-Strengthened," preserving both the strengthening sense of the root and the directional preposition in the morphology.
