Remaliah

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Adorned by the Lord, the father of Pekah, who conspired successfully against Pekahiah (2 Kgs 15:25, 27, 30, 32, 37; Isa 7:1, 4, 5, 9; 8:6).

International Standard Bible Encyclopedia

rem-a-li'-a (remalyahu, "whom Yahweh has adorned"): The father of Pekah (2 Kgs 15:25; Isa 7:4; Isa 8:6). The contemptuous allusion to Pekah as "the son of Remaliah" in Isa 7:4 (similarly "the son of Kish," 1 Sam 10:11) may be a slur on Remaliah's humble origin.
