Joä chim
(Ι᾿ωακείμ ), a Graecized form of the Heb. name JEHOIAKIM, and applied in the Apocrypha to
1. The king of Judah, son of Josiah (Baruch 1:3).
2. A priest (ὁ ἱερεύς, A.V. "high priest"), said to be son of Hilkiah at the time of the burning of Jerusalem by the Babylonians (Baruch 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).
