rem - a - lı̄´a ( רמליהוּ , remalyāhū , "whom Yahweh has adorned"): The father of Pekah ( 2 Kings 15:25 ff; Isaiah 7:4 ff; Isaiah 8:6 ). The contemptuous allusion to Pekah as "the son of Remaliah" in Isaiah 7:4 (similarly "the son of Kish," 1 Samuel 10:11 ) may be a slur on Remaliah's humble origin.
