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 1 Kings 2:19, ff. The term is applied to Maachah (1 Kings 15:13; 2 Chronicles 15:16) and to Jezetiel (2 Kings 10:13) and to the mother of Jehoiachin or Jeconiah (Jeremiah 13:18 compare 2 Kings 24:12; Jeremiah 29:2).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
