英语词汇jeroboam的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

jeroboam; rehoboam. Jeroboam reigned as the first of the kings of Israel, “a mighty man of valor,” who “did sin and make Israel to sin” (I Kings 14:16). Which may be why the oversized wine bottle, holding from eight to 12 quarts, was named after him by some scholarly wit at the beginning of the 19th century. The bottle is certainly “mighty” enough, anyway, and its con- tents can surely cause “sin.” The rehoboam, two jeroboams, is named after Solomon’s son, who was at least wise enough to carry on his father’s marital policies: Rehoboam had 18 wives, plus 60 concubines. Jeroboam also describes the large bowl or goblet better known as the “jorum,” the latter name in allusion to another biblical king who brought King David “vessels of sil- ver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of brass” (II Sam. 8:10).
