Zephaniah       Jehovah has concealed, or Jehovah of darkness. (1.) The son of       Cushi, and great-grandson of Hezekiah, and the ninth in the       order of the minor prophets. He prophesied in the days of       Josiah, king of Judah (B.C. 641-610), and was contemporary with       Jeremiah, with whom he had much in common. The book of his       prophecies consists of:                (a) An introduction (1:1-6), announcing the judgment of the       world, and the judgment upon Israel, because of their       transgressions.                (b) The description of the judgment (1:7-18).                (c) An exhortation to seek God while there is still time       (2:1-3).                (d) The announcement of judgment on the heathen (2:4-15).                (e) The hopeless misery of Jerusalem (3:1-7).                (f) The promise of salvation (3:8-20).                (2.) The son of Maaseiah, the "second priest" in the reign of       Zedekiah, often mentioned in Jeremiah as having been sent from       the king to inquire (Jer. 21:1) regarding the coming woes which       he had denounced, and to entreat the prophet's intercession that       the judgment threatened might be averted (Jer. 29:25, 26, 29;       37:3; 52:24).

A Kohathite ancestor of the prophet Samuel (1 Chr. 6:36).                (4.)
