Shapham (I)

I. SHAPHAM, Shaphan, or Saphan, Son of Azaliah, Secretary of the Temple in the Time of King Josiah1. It was Shaphan who inform’d this Prince, that the Book of the Law of the Lord was found in the Temple. We find several Sons of Shaphan, viz. Ahikam, Elasa, Gamariah, and Jezoniah; but I cannot say they are all Sons of the same Shaphan.
