Bible Person

Hilkiah

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

This Hilkiah entry refers to a Levitical ancestor in 1 Chronicles 6 and the father of Amaziah, not to Jeremiah's father or the man in Nehemiah 8. He belongs to the genealogical chain that undergirds worship service in Israel. First appears in 1 Chr 6:45.1

AI summary: This Hilkiah matters because his single cross reference helps carry forward a Levitical family line tied to temple ministry. Even a brief paternal notice contributes to the continuity of inherited service in Israel's worship life. Taken together, the material presents this Hilkiah as an ancestral figure within the Levitical tradition.1
