Bible Person

Amariah

Meaning: the Lord says; the integrity of the Lord · Male · 1 cross reference

This Amariah entry refers to a Judahite ancestor in Nehemiah's list of Jerusalem residents, not to the chief priest or the post-exilic offender of the same name. He belongs to the restored community's rooted family presence in the city. First appears in Neh 11:4.1

AI summary: This Amariah matters because his single cross reference places him within the settled genealogy of those repopulating Jerusalem after exile. Even a brief household notice helps show how restoration depended on named family continuity in the city. Taken together, the material presents this Amariah as a Judahite family source in post-exilic Jerusalem.1
