Footnotes
The name *Yerushah* (יְרוּשָׁה) means 'possession' or 'inheritance'—a quietly loaded name for a queen mother in a book where the Davidic inheritance is always in view. *Tzadok* (צָדוֹק, 'righteous') connects her lineage to the great Zadokite priestly line, lending her son a double inheritance of royal and priestly legitimacy. The Chronicler's habit of naming the queen mother anchors each king's character in his maternal formation, a subtle but consistent theological signal.
