Footnotes
The name *Yoshiyahu* means 'YHWH heals' or 'YHWH supports,' while *Yedidah* means 'beloved of YHWH'—creating a quietly poetic frame: a beloved mother raises a king whose reign embodies YHWH's healing of the nation. The Deuteronomistic History's consistent recording of the queen mother's name and lineage is not incidental; maternal identity carried legal and covenantal weight in royal succession. FOG preserves Hebrew name forms to honour their embedded meanings; FOG Message uses the traditional English equivalents.
