(Heb. Chizkiyah', חזַקיָּה Sept. Ε᾿ζεκία ; Vulg. Ezechia), according to the punctuation of the A.V., a mal who sealed the covenant of reformation with Ezra and Nehemiah (Nehemiah 10:17). But there is no doubt that the name should be taken with that preceding it, as "Ater-Hizkijah," a name given in the lists of those who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel. It appears also extremely likely that the two names following these in 10:17,18 (Azzur, Hodijah) are only corrupt repetitions of them (See HEZEKIAH).
