Old Testament
Athaiah
A descendant of Perez who settled in Jerusalem following the return from the Babylonian exile.
Athaiah was a man of the tribe of Judah who resided in Jerusalem after the walls were rebuilt under Nehemiah. He is listed among the leaders and heads of families chosen to dwell in the holy city to repopulate it. His inclusion in the genealogical records highlights the restoration of the covenant community in the post-exilic period.
