Hashabiah

Meaning: the estimation of the Lord · Male · 2 cross references

This Hashabiah entry refers to the Levite in the Jerusalem lists whose line continues through Azrikam, not to Jeduthun's son. He belongs to the post-exilic Levitical community serving in the restored city. First appears in 1 Chr 9:14.1

AI summary: This Hashabiah matters because the cross references place him among the Levitical households dwelling and serving in Jerusalem after the exile. Such entries show how restored worship depended on carried-forward families of service, not only on prominent leaders. Taken together, the material presents this Hashabiah as a Levitical family figure within the re-established religious life of the city.1
