Hilkiah

Meaning: God is my portion · Male · 1 cross reference

This Hilkiah entry refers to one of the sons in the house of Hosah in 1 Chronicles 26, not to Jeremiah's father, the Levitical ancestor, or the public-law-reading figure in Nehemiah 8. He belongs to the family associated with gatekeeping service. First appears in 1 Chr 26:11.1

AI summary: This Hilkiah matters because his single cross reference places him within a household remembered for sanctuary service. The entry helps show that temple responsibilities were sustained through named families across generations. Taken together, the material presents this Hilkiah as a family figure in the gatekeeping tradition.1
