Bible Person
Meaning: that disperses; that spoils · Male · 5 cross references
This Pharaoh entry refers to the Egyptian power in which Judah is tempted to trust during Hezekiah's crisis, not the Pharaoh of Moses' infancy or the named rulers such as Pharaoh-nechoh. He stands as a symbol of misplaced political reliance against Assyria. First appears in 2 Kgs 18:21.1
AI summary: This Pharaoh matters because the cross references present Egypt as the false security to which Judah looks when Assyria threatens. Isaiah especially treats that dependence as spiritually foolish, exposing the emptiness of trust in human power apart from the Lord. The name therefore carries both political and theological force. Taken together, the material presents this Pharaoh as the figure of unreliable Egyptian support against which prophetic faith warns Judah.1
