Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name יָקִים (Jakim), as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of being "established" or "set up" can be related to Greek terms such as ἵστημι (histēmi), which means "to stand" or "to establish."

Usage: Jakim is used as a proper noun, specifically a personal name, in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Jakim is a name found in the genealogical records of the tribe of Benjamin. In 1 Chronicles 24:12, Jakim is listed as one of the heads of the priestly divisions established by King David. The division of Jakim was one of the twenty-four priestly courses that were organized to serve in the temple. This system was designed to ensure that the duties of the temple were carried out in an orderly and efficient manner, with each division serving at the temple for a specific period. The name Jakim reflects the divine establishment and order that was intended for the priestly service, emphasizing the role of the priests as those whom God has set up for His service.
