Subjects in this Topic:
ZEDEKIAH.—1. Son of Chenaanah, and one of Ahab’s four hundred court prophets (1Ki_22:11; 1Ki_22:24-25, 2Ch_18:10; 2Ch_18:23-24). 2. A prophet deported to Babylon with Jehoiachin. He and another, named Ahab, are denounced by Jeremiah (Jer_29:21-23) for gross immorality as well as for falsely prophesying a speedy restoration from Babylon. It was probably their action as political agitators that brought on them the cruel punishment of being roasted in the fire by order of Nebuchadrezzar. 3. Son of Hananiah, one of the princes in the reign of Jehoiakim (Jer_36:12). 4. A signatory to the covenant (Neh_10:1). 5. See next article.
