Zedekiah

Meaning: the Lord is my justice; the justice of the Lord · Male · 5 cross references

This Zedekiah entry refers to Zedekiah son of Chenaanah, the false prophet in Ahab's court, not King Zedekiah of Judah. He is remembered for theatrical prophecy, confrontation with Micaiah, and confident deception. First appears in 1 Kgs 22:11.1

AI summary: This Zedekiah matters because the cross references present him as the public face of false prophetic certainty in Ahab's final campaign. He dramatizes victory, strikes Micaiah, and embodies the kind of court prophecy that speaks what power wants to hear rather than what God has said. His confidence only heightens the tragedy that follows. Taken together, the material presents this Zedekiah as a false prophet whose performance masks fatal deception.1
