Hezekiah is mentioned in Zep 1:1 as an ancestor of the prophet Zephaniah. He is listed as the great-great-grandfather of Zephaniah, who prophesied during the reign of King Josiah of Judah. No other details are provided about this Hezekiah. He is not to be confused with King Hezekiah of Judah, who lived earlier. The mention of Hezekiah in Zephaniah's genealogy helps to establish the prophet's lineage and time period.
