in reply to a message by Zibiah
Queen Zibiah of Beer-Sheba (http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jamesdow/s021/f652787.htm) is the wife of King Ahaziah and the mother of Joash king of Judah. I think it means "the Lord dwells" or "deer" in Hebrew.

Why thank you ever so much for finding that....... It is a wierd name I have to admit.... one held by several of my anscestors who were jewish (though I myself am not....)Now on to Pronounsiation..... I hear so many zib - ee - ah and zib-iy-ah another.... what does evryone think.... I use the latter...(By the way.... on the random chance that any descendants of Betty Lou Flavelle and Carl Weidman ever come on this site... you got it wrong on Rootsweb.... its is not Zebahiah but Zibiah........)

No problem, it wasn't difficult, since she's my ancestress. :-)

so your descended from the house of Judah? :)I would love to see where my anscestors came from back in the age in which Zibiah would have ruled in...... *sigh*One question: Once people have found meanings for names do they go on the site?????
