Who this is

Zephaniah prophesied during King Josiah's reign, warning of a coming day of the Lord that would bring judgment not just on Judah's idolatry but on the surrounding nations as well, before the book ends with an unexpected turn toward restoration and God rejoicing over his people with singing. His genealogy is traced back four generations in the opening verse, possibly to identify him as a great-great-grandson of King Hezekiah.
