Hilkiah:
portion of Jehovah. (1.) 1Ch 6:54. (2.) 1Ch 26:11. (3.) The father of Eliakim (2Ki 18:18,26,37). (4.) The father of Gemariah (Jer 29:3). (5.) The father of the prophet Jeremiah (Jer 1:1).
(6.) The high priest in the reign of Josiah (1Ch 6:13; Ezr 7:1). To him and his deputy (2Ki 23:5), 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" (2Ki 22:8) and the "book of the covenant" (23:2). Some have supposed that this "book" was nothing else than the original autograph copy of the Pentateuch written by Moses (Deu 31:9-26). 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. (See JOSIAH; SHAPHAN.)
