This Michaiah entry refers to a Levitical figure connected with Mattaniah in post-exilic worship records, not to the son of Gemariah in Jeremiah. He belongs to the restored musical life of Jerusalem. First appears in Neh 11:22.1

AI summary: This Michaiah matters because his cross references place him in the family background of those leading praise and procession in the rebuilt city.
