HEPHZIBAH

(Hephʹzi·bah) [my delight is in her].

1. Wife of Hezekiah and mother of wicked King Manasseh.—2 Ki. 20:21; 21:1.

2. The name “Hephzi-bah” is applied to Jerusalem in a restoration prophecy, according to certain Bible translations. (Isa. 62:4, AS, AV, Ro) Here others use expressions such as “My pleasure in her” (Dy), “my Delight” (Mo) and “My Delight Is in Her.” (NW, AT, RS) It was foretold that Jehovah would find delight in this city as it became “a crown of beauty” in his hand.—Isa. 62:1-4.
