JEHIZKIAH or HEZEKIAH. Son of Shallun, a chief of Ephraim, in Ahaz's time. At the prophet Oded's command he was one of those who withstood the returning warriors who wanted to keep their 200,000 brethren of Judah in captivity and the spoil taken by the Israelite king Pekah in one victory (2 Chronicles 28:8-12). Jehizkiah and his noble helpers shod and clothed the naked, gave them to eat and drink, and carried all the feeble on donkeys to Jericho, on their way back to Judah (2 Chronicles 28:15).
