Shephatiah

Meaning: the Lord that judges · Male · 1 cross reference

This Shephathiah entry refers to one of Jehoshaphat's sons in 2 Chronicles 21:2, not to the Benjaminite ancestor, the Benjamite supporter, the Simeonite prince, or the Jeremiah-era official.

AI summary: This Shephathiah matters because his single cross reference places him among the royal brothers killed when Jehoram secures power. The entry gives personal weight to the moral collapse that follows within Judah's monarchy. Taken together, the material presents this Shephathiah as a royal son lost in dynastic bloodshed.1
