The Hebrew suffixes of “iel” and “iah” are interchangeable because they both mean god.
El or iel is a short form of Ayil.
Iah is an abbreviation of Yahweh.
The army commander called Uriah is equivalent to Uriel.
Now, in the 18th year of king Jeroboam, began Abijah to reign over Judah. He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name also was Michaiah (Maakhah) the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah.
2 Ch 13: 1-2
p. 102
Uriel was the maternal grandfather of Abijah.
The maternal grandfather of Abijah was Absalom.
Now, in the 18th year of king Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam, reigned over Judah. Three years he reigned in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
1 Ki 15: 1-2
And in the 20th year of Jeroboam, king of Israel, Asa reigned over Judah. And 41 years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother’s name was Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
1 Ki 15: 9-10
King Abijah was the Son of King Rehoboam (a son of Solomon, 1 Ki 11: 43) and of Queen Maachah (a daughter of Absalom, 1 Ki 15: 2).
According to 1 Ki 15: 9-10, King Asa was the brother of Abijah.
Uriel was Absalom, son of King David.
The life of Uriel/Uriah needed to be separated from Absalom. Why?
Adam Clarke on why 2 Chr uses Micaiah and Uriel and 1 Ki uses Maacah and Abishalom:
Machaiah is the same as Maachah, the daughter of Absalom. But because she was an upright woman, her name was changed into the more excellent name … and her father’s name into that of Uriel … that the name of Absalom might not be remembered.
Absalom being a prince of Lower Egypt and Judaea was originally called Uriel and Uriah. The biblical story about an army commander called Uriah-Uriel was a tale about the demise of prince Absalom. The Ur prefix in Uriah-Uriel was probably derived from the Egyptian ur meaning “prince”.
Note: the Eqyptian hieroglyph that underlies the word prince in English texts is transliterated SR. the letter e is often added to fill out Egyptian words since the hieroglyphic alphabet, as it is currently understood, didn’t have vowels. if it is left untranslated into English, it would appear as the title Ser (or Sar).
King David had improper relations with Uriah-Uriel-Absalom’s wife. Absalom was killed in battle.
Amnon had improper relations Absalom’s sister. (2 Sam, Ch 13: 1-15) Absalom was killed in battle.
[In ancient times, a sister could be a wife. Somehow, David, raped a daughter.]
2 Sam 13: 19 – Tamar, after being locked out of the bedroom where the improper relations happened, put ashes on her head, tore her robe, and cried.
Pharaoh Siamun is Solomon’s father-in-law of his Egyptian wife.
Sixth king of the 21st Dynasty
Defeated the city of Gesher of the Philistines.
Pharaoh Psusennes II is David,
not father of Libyan Solomon.
Last King of the 21st Dynasty.
Psusennes II ruled from Tanis. The City of David would therefore be Tanis.
Wikipedia, Talk: Iah
** you do not have permission to see this link **
1) Iah is a pretty obscure god. The Israelites adopting him don’t make any sense, especially since there were two other much more popular moon gods.
2) Just because the Egyptian word for moon and the Hebrew word for moon share a cognate does not mean anytime the syllable “yah” comes up, it means “moon.”
3) Yahweh not only is never associated with the moon based on our understanding of Him before becoming the monotheistic god of Israel, but I can’t think of a single time in the Bible where Yahweh is shown to be the ruler of the moon except when He created it, and when the text talks about it, it refers to the moon as a “lesser light.” Yahweh would not be seen as a lesser anything at the time Genesis was written. Yahweh has no association with the moon. Yahweh is a storm and war god.
4) Just because the shortened form of “Yahweh” is “Yah” doesn’t mean they’re the same. In fact, it proves they’re different. If the Israelites couldn’t even speak the name of Yahweh, why would shortening it to “Yah” make it any better if that’s still the name of God?
5) What does the “Weh” in Yahweh mean? Where did it come from? If you’re going to say that Yahweh is Yah, you have to be able to explain why he’s not called Yah.
6) We’re not even sure how Yahweh is pronounced. All we know is it’s spelled like YHWH. Demonstrate why you know why it’s pronounced “Yahweh” before you try to link him to another god.
7) Many scholars say Yahweh’s consort was Asherah. She’s equated to Anat in Egyptian mythology. Anat never had anything to do with Iah.
8) I have not been able to find a single scholarly example linking the two.
As you can see, there’s no similarities between the two. The only thing that would lead one to believe that they have anything to do with each other is the syllable “Yah.” Do not associate the two again without good scholarly evidence.

should be
Why it is incredibly unlikely that Yah is related to Yahweh
Jeremiah means Yhwh will raise.
Isaiah means Yahweh is salvation.
Amnon rapes Tamar.
Absalom then kills Amnon at a sheepshearing festival.
David meets Abigail after being refused by Nabal.
Nabal drinks himself to death at a sheep shearing festival.
David marries Abigail.
David has a sister named Abigail.
Absalom’s general is Abigail’s son, Amasa.
Amasa’s father “went into Abigail.”
There is confusion in the early texts as to the origin of Amasa’a father. Israelite or Ishmaelite?
Judah’s daughter in law is Tamar.
Judah goes to a sheep shearing festival.
Tamar tricks Judah into sleeping with her.
These authors were all thinking about the same story, just different variants. I wouldn’t doubt a variant existed where David raped his sister Abigail, and Amasa was the accursed offspring.
