Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root יָבַן (yāban), meaning "to build" or "to establish."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the Hebrew name Jibnijah in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a unique proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of "building" or "establishing" can be related to Greek words such as οἰκοδομέω (oikodomeō • Strong's Greek 3618), meaning "to build" or "to edify."

Usage: Jibnijah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: • Jibnijah is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. Specifically, he is listed as one of the sons of Elpaal in 1 Chronicles 8:11. The passage reads: "And of Hushim he begat Abitub and Elpaal. The sons of Elpaal: Eber, Misham, Shemed (who built Ono and Lod with its towns), Beriah, and Shema (who were heads of the fathers' houses of the inhabitants of Aijalon, who drove out the inhabitants of Gath), Ahio, Shashak, Jeremoth, Zebadiah, Arad, Eder, Michael, Ishpah, and Joha were the sons of Beriah. Zebadiah, Meshullam, Hizki, Heber, Ishmerai, Izliah, and Jobab were the sons of Elpaal. Jakim, Zichri, Zabdi, Elienai, Zillethai, Eliel, Adaiah, Beraiah, and Shimrath were the sons of Shimei. Ishpan, Eber, Eliel, Abdon, Zichri, Hanan, Hananiah, Elam, Anthothijah, Iphdeiah, and Penuel were the sons of Shashak. Shamsherai, Shehariah, Athaliah, Jaareshiah, Elijah, and Zichri were the sons of Jeroham. These were heads of the fathers' houses, according to their generations, chief men. These dwelt in Jerusalem." (1 Chronicles 8:11-28, BSB)
• The name Jibnijah reflects a common practice in ancient Israel of incorporating the name of Yahweh into personal names, signifying a relationship or covenant with God. The name suggests a divine promise or hope that Yahweh will establish or build up the individual or family.
