Subjects in this Topic:
(for the Heb., etc., see MICAIAH), the name of three men.
1. Ason of Mephibosheth (2Sa_9:12); elsewhere (1Ch_8:34-35) called MICAH SEE MICAH (q.v.).
2. The son of Zabdi and father of Mattaniah, a Levite of the family of Asaph (Neh_11:17; Neh_11:22); probably the same that-joined in the sacred covenant after the captivity (Neh_10:11). B.C. cir. 410. In 1Ch_9:15 his name is incorrectly Anglicized “Micah.” He must not be confounded with the Michaiah of Neh_12:35.
3. “A Simeonite, father of Ozias, one of the three governors of the city of Bethulia in the time of Judith (Jdt_6:15). His name is remarkable as being connected with one of the few specific allusions to the ten tribes after the captivity.”
