# Jecoliah: A Minor Biblical Figure Jecoliah (יְכָלְיָהוּ) appears in the Hebrew Bible only twice, identifying a specific individual rather than functioning as a common word with varied meanings. The name itself is a proper noun—a personal name rather than a term with semantic range or usage evolution. With only two occurrences across the entire biblical text, this figure occupies a marginal place in scriptural narrative. The scarcity of attestation suggests that Jecoliah was not a central character in biblical history or tradition. Unlike frequently mentioned figures or theologically significant individuals, this person merits only minimal textual attention. The limited data provided does not indicate the specific historical period, genealogical connections, or roles associated with Jecoliah, making it impossible to assess broader significance based solely on the lexicon entry itself. For readers seeking to understand this name's importance, one would need to consult the specific biblical passages where Jecoliah appears to determine context and relevance. The lexicon data confirms only that this was a named individual preserved in the biblical record, but the two occurrences represent the complete biblical witness to this person.
