Usage: Remaljah is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a specific individual, the father of King Pekah of Israel.

Context: Remaljah is mentioned in the context of the Northern Kingdom of Israel during the divided monarchy period. He is primarily known as the father of Pekah, who became king of Israel after assassinating King Pekahiah, the son of Menahem. Remaljah himself is not described in detail in the biblical narrative, but his son Pekah is noted for his reign during a tumultuous period in Israel's history. Pekah's reign is marked by political intrigue and alliances, including a notable alliance with Rezin, king of Aram, against Judah. This alliance led to the Syro-Ephraimite War, which is referenced in the prophetic writings of Isaiah. The name Remaljah appears in several passages, often in the context of identifying Pekah as "the son of Remaljah," emphasizing his lineage. Key references to Remaljah can be found in 2 Kings 15:25, 2 Kings 15:27, 2 Kings 15:37, 2 Kings 16:1, and Isaiah 7:1, among others. In these passages, the political and military actions of Pekah, son of Remaljah, are highlighted, illustrating the instability and challenges faced by the Northern Kingdom during this era.
