Ahikam, in Hebrew "brother of support," "helper". One of the five whom Josiah sent to consult the prophetess Huldah in connection with the discovery of the book of the law. [1] He was the son of Shaphan, the royal secretary, and the father of Gedaliah, governor of Judea after the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians.[2]
On one occasion he protected Jeremiah against the fury of Jehoiakim.[3][4] It was in the chamber of another son (Germariah) of Shaphan that Baruch read in the ears of all the people Jeremiah's roll.
