His account is pivotal in the religious reforms that took place in Judah, as recorded in the books of 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles.<br><br><b>Genealogy and Position</b><br><br>Hilkiah was a descendant of Aaron, the brother of Moses, and belonged to the Levitical priesthood. He served as the high priest in the temple of Jerusalem during a time of significant religious and political change. His lineage is noted in <a href="/1_chronicles/6-13.htm">1 Chronicles 6:13</a>, which traces his ancestry back to Levi, establishing his rightful place in the priestly order.<br><br><b>Discovery of the Book of the Law</b><br><br>Hilkiah's most notable contribution to biblical history is his discovery of the Book of the Law during the renovation of the temple. This event is detailed in <a href="/2_kings/22-8.htm">2 Kings 22:8-10</a> : "Then Hilkiah the high priest said to Shaphan the scribe, 'I have found the Book of the Law in the house of the LORD.' And he gave it to Shaphan, who read it. And Shaphan the scribe went to the king and reported, 'Your servants have paid out the money that was found in the house and have put it into the hands of the supervisors and workers.' Moreover, Shaphan the scribe told the king, 'Hilkiah the priest has given me a book.' And Shaphan read it in the presence of the king."<br><br>This discovery was monumental, as it led to a religious revival and reform under King Josiah. The Book of the Law, likely a form of Deuteronomy, had been neglected and forgotten during the reigns of previous kings who had led Judah into idolatry.<br><br><b>Role in Josiah's Reforms</b><br><br>Upon hearing the words of the Book of the Law, King Josiah was deeply moved and initiated a series of reforms to restore the worship of Yahweh and eliminate idolatry from the land. Hilkiah played a crucial role in these reforms, as he was responsible for overseeing the purification of the temple and the reestablishment of proper worship practices. <a href="/2_kings/23-4.htm">2 Kings 23:4</a> states, "Then the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, the priests of the second order, and the doorkeepers to bring out of the temple of the LORD all the articles made for Baal, Asherah, and all the host of heaven. He burned them outside Jerusalem in the fields of the Kidron Valley and carried their ashes to Bethel."<br><br><b>Consultation with Huldah the Prophetess</b><br><br>In response to the discovery of the Book of the Law, King Josiah sent Hilkiah, along with other officials, to consult Huldah the prophetess to seek the LORD's guidance. This consultation is recorded in <a href="/2_kings/22-14.htm">2 Kings 22:14-20</a>. Huldah confirmed the impending judgment on Judah due to its past sins but assured Josiah that because of his humility and repentance, the disaster would not occur during his reign.<br><br><b>Legacy</b><br><br>Hilkiah's legacy is one of faithfulness and dedication to the service of God. His actions were instrumental in bringing about a spiritual renewal in Judah, and his discovery of the Book of the Law was a catalyst for one of the most significant religious reforms in the history of Israel. His account serves as a reminder of the importance of adhering to God's Word and the impact that faithful leadership can have on a nation.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Hilkiah</span><p>God is my portion<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Hilkiah</span><p>(<i>God is my portion</i>) <ol> <li>Father of Eliakim.

To him and his deputy (<a href="/2_kings/23-5.htm">2 Kings 23:5</a>), along with the ordinary priests and the Levites who had charge of the gates, was entrusted the purification of the temple in Jerusalem. While this was in progress, he discovered in some hidden corner of the building a book called the "book of the law" (<a href="/2_kings/22-8.htm">2 Kings 22:8</a>) and the "book of the covenant" (<a href="/2_kings/23-2.htm">23:2</a>). Some have supposed that this "book" was nothing else than the original autograph copy of the Pentateuch written by Moses (<a href="/deuteronomy/31-9.htm">Deuteronomy 31:9</a>-26). This remarkable discovery occurred in the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign (B.C. 624), a discovery which permanently affected the whole subsequent history of Israel.

The latter appears as Ezecias (the King James Version) in 1 Esdras 9:43. Five of this name are clearly associated with the priesthood, and the others are presumably so. The etymology suggests this. Either interpretation of the name expresses the person's claim on Yahweh or the parents' recognition of Yahweh's claim on him.<br><br>(1) The person mentioned above (<a href="/nehemiah/8-4.htm">Nehemiah 8:4</a>, etc.).<br><br>(2) A Levite of the sons of Merari (<a href="/1_chronicles/6-45.htm">1 Chronicles 6:45</a>).<br><br>(3) Another Levite of Merari, son of Hosah (<a href="/1_chronicles/26-11.htm">1 Chronicles 26:11</a>).

He discovered the lost Book of the Law during the repairing of the Temple (<a href="/2_kings/22-4.htm">2 Kings 22:4, 8</a>); became chief leader in the ensuing reformation in 621 B.C.

He showed the recovered book to Shaphan the scribe, who, in turn, brought it to the notice of the king. At Josiah's request he led a deputation to Huldah the prophetess to "inquire of the Lord" concerning the new situation created by the discovery.
