Igdaliah

Fausset's Bible Dictionary

The "man of God" (i.e. a prophet, one not his own; having parted with all right in himself, to be wholly God's:  Deuteronomy 33:1, Moses; Elisha,  2 Kings 4:7; Timothy,  2 Timothy 3:17). Father of Hanan, in the chamber of whose sons Jeremiah ( 2 Timothy 35:4) met the Rechabites; as consecrated by its association with his name, it was a fit scene for the divine communication.
