Bible Person

Shecaniah

Meaning: habitation of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Shecaniah entry refers to the priestly distributor in 2 Chronicles 31:15, not to the priestly division head or the Tobiah-related father-in-law with the alternate spelling Shechaniah. He belongs to the practical stewardship that sustains renewed temple worship under Hezekiah. First appears in 2 Chr 31:15.1

AI summary: This Shecaniah matters because his single cross reference places him among those helping distribute portions fairly in the priestly towns. The entry shows that reform required trustworthy administration beyond the temple's central courts. Taken together, the material presents this Shecaniah as a steward in Hezekiah's worship system.1
