A Nethinim servant who returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel.
Ziha was a member of the Nethinim, a group of temple servants tasked with assisting the Levites in their duties. He is listed among those who returned to Jerusalem from captivity in Babylon. His inclusion in the genealogical records of Ezra and Nehemiah highlights the restoration of temple service and the preservation of the community's identity after the exile.
