The Next Testament

Zephaniah

Old Testament · 3 sections · scripture: Berean Standard Bible

Zephaniah's genealogy is the longest of any prophet's, and it is four generations deep for a reason: it ends at Hezekiah. If that is King Hezekiah, and it probably is, then Zephaniah was a great-great-grandson of the king and a distant cousin of Josiah, on whose throne he was pronouncing doom.
