# Jaddua (H3037G): A Proper Name in Biblical Text Based on the lexical data provided, Jaddua (יַדּוּעַ) is a proper noun—specifically a personal name—appearing once in the Hebrew Bible. The single occurrence in biblical text indicates this was a named individual of sufficient importance to be recorded in scripture, though the limited frequency suggests a relatively minor or specialized role in the biblical narrative. Without additional context from the lexicon regarding the specific biblical passage where Jaddua appears, the definition "Jaddua" itself provides no semantic meaning beyond identification of the individual bearing this name. The name appears to function purely as a designator of a particular person, much like other proper nouns in biblical genealogies and historical accounts. The single occurrence limits our ability to trace any semantic development or varied usage of the term across different biblical contexts.
