REMALIAH . The father of Pekah ( 2 Kings 15:25 ff; 2 Kings 16:1; 2Ki 16:5 , 2 Chronicles 28:6 , Isaiah 7:1 ff; Isaiah 8:8 ).
Fausset's Bible Dictionary [3]
Father of the usurper Pekah (2 Kings 15:25-37). Isaiah (Isaiah 7:4-9) designates the usurper as "the son of Remaliah," to mark that, belonging to a family alien from David's, to whom alone God promised the kingdom, he cannot succeed against the heir of David.
Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary [4]
Father of Pekah, king of Israel, (2 Kings 15:25) If the word be a compound, and derived from Ram-am, it means exalted of the Lord. If otherwise, from Ramah, with the preposition Lamed, it may mean the reverse, namely, rejected of the Lord.

(Heb. Renmalyahu, רְמִלְיָהוּ , protected of Jehovah; Sept. ῾Ραμελίος or ῾Ρομελίος, v. r. ῾Ρομελία ), the father of Pekah, king of Israel (2 Kings 15:25; 2 Kings 15:27; 2 Kings 15:30; 2 Kings 15:32; 2 Kings 15:37; 2 Kings 16:1; 2 Kings 16:5; 2 Chronicles 28:6), probably a man whose character was such as to make his name a reproach to his descendants (Isaiah 7:4-5; Isaiah 8:6). B.C. ante 756. (See Pekah).
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia [9]
rem - a - lı̄´a ( רמליהוּ , remalyāhū , "whom Yahweh has adorned"): The father of Pekah ( 2 Kings 15:25 ff; Isaiah 7:4 ff; Isaiah 8:6 ). The contemptuous allusion to Pekah as "the son of Remaliah" in Isaiah 7:4 (similarly "the son of Kish," 1 Samuel 10:11 ) may be a slur on Remaliah's humble origin.
