The word of the Lord (Yahweh) that came to Zephaniah [meaning: "Yahweh hides and protects"], son of Cushi, son of Gedaliah, son of Amariah, son of Hezekiah (Hebr. Chizqijah) – in the days of [King] Josiah (Hebr. Joshijahos) [622-609 BC when he reigned as king], son of Amon, king of Judah. [Josiah was a good king who reigned from 640-609 BC, but because he was young, he did not come to power until 622 BC, see 2 Kings 22:1. Zephaniah's connection to King Hezekiah in the fourth generation is emphasized. Hezekiah was king of the southern kingdom from 715-686 BC and restored temple service and abolished idolatry, see 2 Kings 18–20. He is also known for building the Siloam Tunnel and a dam to improve the water supply to Jerusalem.]
