Zichri Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Zichri was an Ephraimite warrior who lived during the reign of King Ahaz of Judah. He is mentioned in the context of a war between Israel and Judah, in which the Israelites defeated Judah and captured many prisoners. Zichri is described as a mighty warrior who killed three significant figures in Judah's royal court: Maaseiah, the king's son; Ahaziah, the governor of the palace; and Elkanah, who was second to the king. The fact that Zichri was able to kill these high-ranking officials suggests that he was a skilled and formidable warrior. His actions likely contributed to the defeat and humiliation of Judah in this conflict. The passage in 2Chronicles 28 highlights the consequences of Ahaz's unfaithfulness to God and the resulting military defeats suffered by Judah.
