zeÌ„Ì-bı̄´da, zeb´i-da (זיּדה, zebhuÌ„dhaÌ„h, KÌ£ereÌ„, whence the King James Version “Zebudah,†whereas the Kethı̄bh is זבידה, zebhı̄dhaÌ„h; the KÌ£ereÌ„ means “bestowed†and is the feminine of Zabud): Daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah, and mother of King Jehoiakim of Judah ().

Lucian has confused the names here with those of , and has as there, “Amital, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.â€
