# Belchira

Source: https://enocharchive.com/characters/belchira (Enoch Archive).

Belchira was a false prophet of the family of Zedekiah the son of Chenaan. He was a Samaritan whose dwelling was in Bethlehem and who became an adherent of Manasseh. He prophesied falsely in Jerusalem, where many were confederate with him. While still a youth he escaped and came to Jerusalem in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, yet he walked not in the ways of his father of Samaria because he feared Hezekiah.

In the Ascension of Isaiah Belchira recognized the place of Isaiah and the prophets who were with him. The words of Belchira pleased Manasseh exceedingly, and he sent and seized Isaiah.
