Nathan-melech is the court official named in 2 Kings 23:11. He belongs to the royal setting whose structures had become entangled with idolatrous worship before Josiah's reform. First appears in 2 Kgs 23:11.1
AI summary: Nathan-melech matters because his single cross reference helps localize one of the cultic abuses Josiah removes when purging Judah's worship.
