ZEPHANIAH - Z>@ - (hidden by Jehovah). The ninth in order of the twelve minor prophets. His pedigree is traced to his fourth ancestor, Hezekiah, kjv@Zephaniah:1:1) supposed to be the celebrated king of that name. The chief characteristics of this book are the unity and harmony of the composition, the grace, energy and dignity of its style, and the rapid and effective alternations of threats and promises. The general tone of the last portion is Messianic, but without any specific reference to the person of our Lord. The date of the book is given in the inscription
viz, the reign of Josiah, from 642 to 611 B.C. It is most probable moreover, that the prophecy was delivered before the eighteenth year of Josiah. The son of Maaseiah, kjv@Jeremiah:21:1) and sagan or second priest in the reign of Zedekiah. (B.C. 588.) He succeeded Jehoida, kjv@Jeremiah:29:25-26) and was probably a ruler of the temple, whose office it was, among others, to punish pretenders to the gift of prophecy. kjv@Jeremiah:29:29) On the capture of Jerusalem he was taken and slain at Riblah. kjv@Jeremiah:52:24 kjv@Jeremiah:52:27 kjv@2Kings:25:18 kjv@2Kings:25:21) Father of Josiah, 2, kjv@Zechariah:6:10) and of Hen, according to the reading of the received text of kjv@Zechariah:6:14)

Zephaniah @ Jehovah has concealed, or Jehovah of darkness.

(1.) The son of Cushi, and great-grandson of Hezekiah, and the ninth in the order of the minor prophets. He prophesied in the days of Josiah, king of Judah (B.C. 641-610), and was contemporary with Jeremiah, with whom he had much in common. The book of his prophecies consists of: (a) An introduction (1:1-6), announcing the judgment of the world, and the judgment upon Israel, because of their transgressions. (b) The description of the judgment (1:7-18). (c) An exhortation to seek God while there is still time (2:1-3). (d) The announcement of judgment on the heathen (2:4-15). (e) The hopeless misery of Jerusalem (3:1-7). (f) The promise of salvation (3:8-20).

(2.) The son of Maaseiah, the "second priest" in the reign of Zedekiah, often mentioned in Jeremiah as having been sent from the king to inquire kjv@Jeremiah:21:1) regarding the coming woes which he had denounced, and to entreat the prophet's intercession that the judgment threatened might be averted kjv@Jeremiah:29:25-26, 29; 37:3; 52:24). He, along with some other captive Jews, was put to death by the king of Babylon "at Riblah in the land of Hamath" ( kjv@2Kings:25:21).

(3.) A Kohathite ancestor of the prophet Samuel ( kjv@1Chronicles:6:36).

(4.) The father of Josiah, the priest who dwelt in Jerusalem when Darius issued the decree that the temple should be rebuilt kjv@Zechariah:6:10).
