Bible Person

Asaiah

Meaning: the Lord hath wrought · Male · 1 cross reference

This Asaiah entry refers to a Judahite ancestor listed among the residents of Jerusalem in Chronicles, not to the Simeonite or Levitical figures of the same name. He belongs to the restored community's rooted family presence in the city. First appears in 1 Chr 9:5.1

AI summary: This Asaiah matters because his single cross reference places him within the settled genealogies of those inhabiting Jerusalem after the exile. Even a brief name helps show that restoration depended on concrete family continuity in the city. Taken together, the material presents this Asaiah as a Judahite family source in post-exilic Jerusalem.1
