Jecoliah

Meaning: perfection · Female · 2 cross references

Jecoliah is the wife of Amaziah and the mother of Uzziah, appearing through the royal household notices of Judah. She belongs to the dynastic line through which the monarchy continues into one of its stronger reigns. First appears in 2 Kgs 15:2.1

AI summary: Jecoliah matters because the cross references place her at the maternal hinge between Amaziah and Uzziah, rooting royal succession in an actual household rather than a bare sequence of kings. Even brief queen-mother notices contribute to the dynastic texture of Judah's story. Taken together, the material presents Jecoliah as a royal mother whose place supports the continuity of Judah's monarchy.1
