Bible Person
Meaning: the Lord is my master · Male · 1 cross reference
This Adonijah entry refers to a chief of the people in Nehemiah's covenant list, not to David's son who sought the throne or to the Levite teacher under Jehoshaphat. He belongs to the post-exilic leadership circle publicly pledging faithfulness. First appears in Neh 10:16.1
AI summary: This Adonijah matters because his single cross reference places the name among those sealing the covenant in Nehemiah. The entry shows how even names associated elsewhere with royal ambition can also belong to a setting of communal submission and obedience. Taken together, the material presents this Adonijah as a leader participating in post-exilic covenant renewal.1
