# Adonijah: A Biblical Name Entry Based on the lexical data provided, H0138H represents Adonijah (אֲדֹנִיָּ֫הוּ), a proper name that appears exactly once in the biblical text. As a proper noun, it functions as a personal identifier rather than a common word with semantic range or varying usage contexts. The name itself combines elements meaning "lord" (adon) and "Yah" (a form of the divine name), suggesting a theophoric construction—a Hebrew naming convention that incorporates reference to God. With only a single occurrence in the biblical corpus, this entry provides minimal data about its significance or usage patterns within Scripture. The lexicon records it as a straightforward name reference without additional contextual information about the individual's role, relationships, or historical importance. This limited attestation means we cannot draw conclusions about how the name was used metaphorically, how its meaning shifted across different texts, or what theological weight it may have carried in various biblical narratives. The data presented here represents the bare lexicographical framework—the name's existence and location in the biblical text—rather than interpretive information about the person who bore it or the circumstances of his mention.
