SCRIPTURE

"And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:" — Isaiah 22:20 (ASV)

Eliakim the son of Hilkiah. Nothing is known of Eliakim’s previous history, but the epithet, my servant, bears witness to his faith and goodness; and we may well believe him to have been in heart, if not openly, one of Isaiah’s disciples. He was apparently, at the time, in some subordinate office.
