Old Testament
Igdaliah
A man of God whose chamber in the temple served as a meeting place for the Rechabites.
Igdaliah is mentioned only once in Jeremiah 35:4 as a man of God whose chamber was located near the chambers of the princes in the temple of Jerusalem. His chamber served as the site where the prophet Jeremiah tested the obedience of the Rechabites. The text identifies him as a man of God, indicating a position of religious significance or prophetic authority during the reign of Jehoiakim.
