Old Testament
Maaziah
A priest during the time of David and later a representative of a priestly family in the post-exilic period.
Maaziah is first listed in 1 Chronicles 24:18 as the head of the twenty-fourth priestly division established by King David for temple service. He is later mentioned in Nehemiah 10:8 and 12:17 as a priestly family that returned from the Babylonian exile and sealed the covenant under Nehemiah. His inclusion highlights the continuity of the Levitical priesthood from the monarchy through the restoration period.
