Joächim
Jochim
(), a Graecized form of the Heb. name JEHOIAKIM, and applied in the Apocrypha to
1. The king of Judah, son of Josiah (Bar 1:3).
2. A priest ( , A.V. high priest), said to be son of Hilkiah at the time of the burning of Jerusalem by the Babylonians (Bar 1:7). SEE JOACIM, 4. As no such pontiff occurs at this time, SEE HIGH PRIEST, the person intended may perhaps have been not the successor, but only a junior son of Hilkiah if, indeed, the whole narrative be not spurious. SEE BARUCH.
