Adorned by the Lord, the father of Pekah, who conspired successfully against Pekahiah (2 Kings 15:25, 27, 30, 32, 37; Isa. 7:1, 4, 5, 9; 8:6).
Remaliah
Remaliah is remembered only as a father. His son Pekah, “the son of Remaliah,” became king of Israel after he “conspired against” King Pekahiah and struck him down in Samaria (2 Kings 15:25), and Hoshea later did the same to him. Isaiah keeps the phrase alive. When Pekah and the Syrian king Rezin march on Jerusalem, God sends Isaiah to tell Ahaz, “Take heed, and be quiet; fear not” (Isaiah 7:4). A few verses later the prophet calls Pekah simply “Remaliah’s son” (Isaiah 8:6). Isaiah 7 is where the name matters most.
