Bible Person

Pedaiah

Meaning: redemption of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Pedaiah entry refers to the father of Joel, ruler over half-Manasseh, in 1 Chronicles 27:20, not to the Nehemiah officials or the father of Zebudah. He belongs to the family background of the united monarchy's tribal leadership. First appears in 1 Chr 27:20.1

AI summary: This Pedaiah matters because his single cross reference supports the identity of a tribal officer in David's kingdom. Even a brief paternal notice helps humanize the administrative order by tying office to remembered family lines. Taken together, the material presents this Pedaiah as a familial source within David's governing structure.1
