Hezekiah, king of Judah known for reforms and faith
The Greek form of the Hebrew name meaning 'strength of Yahweh,' referring to the reforming king of Judah (715-686 BC).

Matthew 1:9-10 includes him in Jesus' genealogy, appearing twice as both father and grandfather in successive generations.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Referring to King Hezekiah in Matthew's genealogy, this proper name appears twice in consecutive verses as Matthew traces the royal line from David to the exile. The transliterations across languages (Hiskia in German, Ézéchias in French) reflect efforts to render the Hebrew original. Hezekiah's inclusion emphasizes the Davidic descent of Jesus through Judah's royal house. 2×
