Sha´phan, the scribe or secretary of King Josiah (;;; comp. ). Contemporary with him was a state officer named Ahikam, constantly mentioned as 'the son of Shaphan' (;;;; and perhaps 39:3); but this Shaphan, the father of Ahikam, can hardly be the same with Shaphan the scribe, although the heedless reader may be apt to confound them.
