His name appears in <a href="/1_chronicles/5-24.htm">1 Chronicles 5:24</a>, where he is listed among the leaders of the tribe. The name "Jehizkiah" means "Yahweh strengthens" or "Yahweh makes strong," reflecting a common theme in Hebrew names that emphasize the power and support of God.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br><a href="/1_chronicles/5-24.htm">1 Chronicles 5:24</a> : "These were the heads of their families: Epher, Ishi, Eliel, Azriel, Jeremiah, Hodaviah, and Jehizkiah. They were mighty warriors, famous men, and heads of their families."<br><br>In this passage, Jehizkiah is noted as one of the "mighty warriors" and "famous men" among the Ephraimites. This description suggests that he was a person of considerable influence and reputation within his tribe. The context of <a href="/bsb/1_chronicles/5.htm">1 Chronicles 5</a> highlights the valor and leadership qualities of the tribal heads, indicating that Jehizkiah was likely involved in military or leadership roles that contributed to the strength and stability of his people.<br><br><b>Tribal Context:</b><br><br>The tribe of Ephraim was one of the prominent tribes of Israel, descended from Joseph's son Ephraim. Ephraim held a significant position among the tribes, often associated with leadership and strength. The mention of Jehizkiah among the leaders of Ephraim underscores the importance of his role in maintaining the tribe's legacy and influence.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Significance:</b><br><br>While the Bible does not provide extensive details about Jehizkiah's life or deeds, his inclusion in the genealogical records serves as a testament to his standing within the community. The chronicler's emphasis on the heads of families and their valor highlights the importance of leadership and faithfulness to God in the history of Israel.<br><br>Theologically, the name Jehizkiah, meaning "Yahweh strengthens," reflects the biblical theme of reliance on God's strength and support. This theme is prevalent throughout the Scriptures, where God's empowerment of His people is a recurring motif. Jehizkiah's name serves as a reminder of the divine strength available to those who trust in God.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b><br><br>Jehizkiah's brief mention in the Bible as a leader and mighty warrior of the tribe of Ephraim provides insight into the structure and values of ancient Israelite society. His name and role underscore the importance of divine strength and leadership in the biblical narrative.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Jehizkiah</span><p>(<i>Jehovah strengthens</i>), son of Shallum, one of the heads of the tribe of Ephraim in the time of Ahaz.
