Zedekiah

Meaning: the Lord is my justice; the justice of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Zedekiah entry refers to a son of Jeconiah in 1 Chronicles 3:16, not to the king of Judah or the court figure in Jeremiah. He belongs to the preserved Davidic family line. First appears in 1 Chr 3:16.1

AI summary: This Zedekiah matters because his single cross reference extends the royal genealogy in the generations surrounding exile. Even a brief listing contributes to the continuity of the preserved house of David. Taken together, the material presents this Zedekiah as a descendant within Judah's royal line.1
