Bible Person

Adaiah

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

This Adaiah entry refers to the Gershonite Levite in Chronicles, not to the later Jerusalem priest. He belongs to the genealogical line through which Levitical service is remembered and transmitted. First appears in 1 Chr 6:21.1

AI summary: This Adaiah matters because the cross references place him within the inherited structure of Gershonite descent. Even without a narrative episode, his name helps preserve the family order through which sacred duties were assigned and understood. Taken together, the material presents this Adaiah as a Levitical ancestor whose place supports the continuity of sanctuary service.1
