Remaliah:
the exaltation of the Lord
Remaliah:
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.
Remaliah:
(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)
