1. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Hilkiah
   portion of Jehovah. (1.) 1 Chr. 6:54. (2.) 1 Chr. 26:11. (3.)
   The father of Eliakim (2 Kings 18:18, 26, 37). (4.) The father
   of Gemariah (Jer. 29:3). (5.) The father of the prophet Jeremiah
   (1:1).
   
     (6.) The high priest in the reign of Josiah (1 Chr. 6:13; Ezra
   7:1). To him and his deputy (2 Kings 23:5), along with the
   ordinary priests and the Levites who had charge of the gates,
   was entrusted the purification of the temple in Jerusalem. While
   this was in progress, he discovered in some hidden corner of the
   building a book called the "book of the law" (2 Kings 22:8) and
   the "book of the covenant" (23:2). Some have supposed that this
   "book" was nothing else than the original autograph copy of the
   Pentateuch written by Moses (Deut. 31:9-26). This remarkable
   discovery occurred in the eighteenth year of Josiah's reign
   (B.C. 624), a discovery which permanently affected the whole
   subsequent history of Israel. (See JOSIAH; SHAPHAN.)
   
     (7.) Neh. 12:7. (8.) Neh. 8:4.
   

2. Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's)
