Remaliah
Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
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).
ISBE
rem-a-li'-a (remalyahu, "whom Yahweh has adorned"): The father of Pekah ( 2Ki 15:25 ff; Isa 7:4 ff; 8:6 ). The contemptuous allusion to Pekah as "the son of Remaliah" in Isa 7:4 (similarly "the son of Kish," 1Sa 10:11 ) may be a slur on Remaliah's humble origin.
Smith's Bible Dictionary (1863)
(protected by Jehovah). The father of Pekah, captain of Pekahiah; king of Israel, who slew his master and usurped his throne. (2 Kings 15:25-37; 16:1,5; 2 Chronicles 28:6; Isaiah 7:1-9; 8:6) (B.C. 756.)
