Abstract: the Old Testament, Hebrew culture shows that it was predominantly patriarchal society. However, this does not mean that women did played vital role in that culture and society. Kings and Chronicles recorded a distinct breakthrough as mothers’ were attached to the selected Judean kings. The questions that need to be resolve emerged: First, why this attachment of mother’s name only appeared in Kings and Chronicles and obscured in rest of the Old Testament books? Second, why so exclusive that only Judean kings were the names of the mothers were attached and not to the Israel’s kings? This study points out that the mother’s names were only reflected in the Kings and Chronicles for these books recorded both the emergence of the divided kingdom. But God’s original plan was that only the tribe Judah the scepter’s of the kingship has the sole divine mandate. Besides, theologically, Jesus the Messiah came from the tribe of Judah, where supposedly that all Judean kings should have Him as pattern for true morality, leadership and kingship. The study found out that the mother’s role was so significant in the Hebrew culture and society. The mother’s influence in the domestic life to her son that would be king has enduring effect. The motherhood influence not only reflected in the character of the king, but significantly, the king’s morality. Even more, the mother’s role has been carried to the extent of the leadership role of the king. Finally, this shows that in the Bible, the mother’s role, influence, and attachment, stick to the mind of their children regardless of what society they belong. Mothers have a very vital role in shaping character, morality, in even religious life together with the fathers that complement the whole development of the children.
