Old Testament
Tikvah
The father of Shallum, the husband of Huldah the prophetess, and a man involved in post-exilic reforms.
Tikvah is identified in 2 Kings 22:14 and 2 Chronicles 34:22 as the father of Shallum, who served as keeper of the wardrobe during King Josiah's reign. The name also appears in Ezra 10:15, where a man named Tikvah is listed among those who opposed Ezra's reforms regarding foreign marriages. Given the chronological gap, these likely refer to two different individuals sharing the same name.
