Bible Person

Amaziah

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

This Amaziah entry refers to the father of Joshah among the Simeonite chiefs in Hezekiah's time, not to the king of Judah or the Levite ancestor of the same name. He belongs to the tribal leadership memory of Simeon. First appears in 1 Chr 4:34.1

AI summary: This Amaziah matters because his single cross reference places his house behind one of the Simeonite leaders active in a period of tribal movement and action. Even in a brief family notice, the entry helps anchor leadership in remembered descent. Taken together, the material presents this Amaziah as a familial source within Simeon's later tribal record.1
