1. (Sept. Ε᾿Ψιβά ,Vulg. Hacphsiba.) The mother of king Manasseh, and consequently queen dowager of king Hezekiah ( 2 Kings 21:1). Notwithstanding the piety of her husband, and her own amiable name, her irreligion may be inferred from the character of her son. — B.C. 709-696.
2. (Sept. Θέλημα Ἐμὀν ,Vulg. Voluntas Mea In Ea.) A figurative title ascribed to Zion in token of Jehovah's favor (in the return from the Captivity, and especially in the Messiah's advent), in contrast with her predicted desolation ( Isaiah 62:4).
