Context: • Zephaniah, the Prophet: Zephaniah is one of the twelve minor prophets in the Old Testament. He is the author of the Book of Zephaniah, which is a prophetic text that warns of the coming Day of the Lord, a time of judgment and restoration. Zephaniah prophesied during the reign of King Josiah of Judah (640–609 BC), a period marked by religious reform and a return to the worship of Yahweh. The book emphasizes themes of divine judgment against idolatry and injustice, as well as the hope of salvation for a remnant of the faithful. • Zephaniah, the Priest: Another notable figure named Zephaniah is a priest mentioned in the Book of Jeremiah. He was the son of Maaseiah and served during the time of King Zedekiah. Zephaniah played a role in the events leading up to the Babylonian exile, as he was involved in communications between the prophet Jeremiah and the king (Jeremiah 21:1; 29:25; 37:3; 52:24). • Zephaniah, the Ancestor: A third individual named Zephaniah is listed in the genealogies of the tribe of Levi. He is mentioned as an ancestor of a priestly family that returned from the Babylonian exile (1 Chronicles 6:36).
