	BOOK OF ZEPHANIAH : Encyclopedia Entry
		The superscription of the Book of Zephaniah attributes its authorship to “Zephaniah son of Cushi son of Gedaliah son of Amariah son of Hezekiah, in the days of King Josiah son of Amon of Judah” (1:1, NRSV).
		The fulfilment of this prophecy is commonly understood to have taken place when Judah was captured by the nation of Babylon and many of its inhabitants were exiled in an event known as the Babylonian captivity.
		It is not known whether the religious syncretism, alluded to in chapter one, was a significant issue in post-exilic Judah.

	A Significant Jubilee Cycle
		The new government that rose-up in Judea was more democratic in that it did not operate under the auspices of only a family of monarchs.
		Essentially, the former kings (or descendants of Judah) were no longer inaugurated to rule over civil affairs (as they were in the previous government).
		Rabbi Judah) appear to have concluded that the jubilee cycle was only 49 years in length.

	The question of race
		The reign of Manassah and his son was the single great stain in the history of the Southern Kingdom of Judah, yet these rulers were so evil that even after the wrongs had been righted, God could not forgive the Jewish Nation (II Kings 23:26).
		Manasseh's son Amon, who was as evil and as hated as his father, ruled for only two years.
		Apparently, the priests had a large part in his upbringing, because in his adult years he rose to become the most devoutly Jewish, and the most highly revered of all the Kings of Judah.
