Theological / Devotional

Ahikam. Ahikam’s father was probably the Shaphan who was a well-known scribe in Josiah’s reformation, the one who superintended the restoration of the Temple (see 2 Kings 22:3, 8-14; 2 Chron. 34:8, 14-21). Ahikam’s brothers, Gemariah (Jer. 36:12, 25) and Elasah (ch. 29:3), were of like noble character. It was with Ahikam’s son, Gedaliah (see ch. 40:6), “governor over the cities of Judah,” that Jeremiah found refuge after Nebuchadnezzar’s conquest of Judea (ch. 40:5, 6).
