Queen This title is properly applied to the queen-mother, since in an Oriental household it is not the wife but the mother of the master who exercises the highest authority. Strange as such an arrangement at sight appears, it is one of the inevitable results of polygamy. An illustration of the queen-mother's influence is given in 1Ki 2:19 ff. The term is applied to Maachah, 1Ki 15:13; 2Ch 16:16 and to Jezetiel, 2Ki 10:13 and to the mother of Jehoiachin or Jeconiah, Jer 13:18 compare 2Kin 24:12; Jere 29:2 |
