Eliakim Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, served as the palace administrator under King Hezekiah of Judah. He is mentioned in 2Kings 18-19, Isaiah 22, and Isaiah 36-37. During the Assyrian invasion, Eliakim, along with Shebna the secretary and Joah the recorder, was sent by Hezekiah to meet with the Assyrian officials (2Ki 18:18). The Assyrian commander, the Rabshakeh, delivered a threatening message, urging the people of Judah to surrender (2Ki 18:26-37). Eliakim and the others reported the message to Hezekiah, who sought the counsel of the prophet Isaiah (2Ki 19:2; Isa 37:2). Isaiah prophesied that God would deliver Jerusalem from the Assyrians (Isa 22:20-25). Eliakim's role as palace administrator suggests that he was a high-ranking official and trusted advisor to the king. His involvement in the diplomatic negotiations with the Assyrians highlights the critical situation Judah faced during this time.
