Hezekiah, Ancestor of Zephaniah (חִזְקִיָּהוּ, chizqiyyahu). Listed as an ancestor of the prophet Zephaniah (Zeph 1:1). Zephaniah’s ancestry is traced back four generations to Hezekiah. Listing a person’s ancestors past their immediate parentage is usually done to demonstrate a link to a notable ancestor, so the mention of Hezekiah here is sometimes thought to be a reference to Hezekiah, king of Judah.
