(ad oh ni' kuhm) Personal name meaning, “the Lord has arisen.” Family head of 666 persons who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel from Babylon about 537 B.C. (Ezra 2:13 ). Some members of the family returned with Ezra under Xerxes (Ezra 8:13 ). Compare Ezra 7:18 . Some Bible students think Adonikam is the same person as Adonijah in Nehemiah 10:16 .
