Rehoboam Rehoboam

Rehoboam is the son and successor of king Solomon. By being a bully in stead of a manager, Rehoboam causes the detrimental breach in the united kingdom of Israel. Rehoboam becomes the king of Judah (and Simeon). His nemesis Jeroboam becomes king of the northern ten tribes.

The name Rehoboam is a compilation of two elements. The first part of the name comes from the verb rahab (rahab 2143), to be wide. Derivatives rahab (rahab 2143a, b, c) mean breadth, broad expanse, wide. The second part of the name is am (am 1640a) meaning a people.

Rehoboam means Enlarges The People (Jones) or The People Are Enlarged (NOBSE). A related name is Rehoboth-Ir.
