The name is borne by multiple individuals, each playing distinct roles in the biblical narrative. Below are the notable mentions of Malchiah in the Scriptures:<br><br>1. <b>Malchiah, the Son of Rechab</b>: This Malchiah is noted in the Book of Jeremiah. He is identified as the son of Rechab and is associated with a cistern in his courtyard. It was into this cistern that the prophet Jeremiah was cast by the officials of King Zedekiah, as recorded in <a href="/jeremiah/38-6.htm">Jeremiah 38:6</a>: "So they took Jeremiah and cast him into the cistern of Malchiah, the king’s son, which was in the courtyard of the guard. They lowered Jeremiah by ropes into the cistern; it had no water, only mud, and Jeremiah sank into the mud." This act was part of the persecution Jeremiah faced for his prophecies against Jerusalem.<br><br>2. <b>Malchiah, the Priest</b>: Another Malchiah is mentioned in the context of the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls under Nehemiah. In <a href="/nehemiah/3-11.htm">Nehemiah 3:11</a>, Malchiah, the son of Harim, is listed among those who repaired the walls: "Malchijah son of Harim and Hasshub son of Pahath-moab repaired another section, as well as the Tower of the Ovens." This Malchiah was a priest, and his involvement in the reconstruction efforts highlights the cooperative spirit among the Israelites during this period of restoration.<br><br>3. <b>Malchiah, the Goldsmith</b>: In <a href="/nehemiah/3-31.htm">Nehemiah 3:31</a>, another Malchiah is mentioned as a goldsmith who worked on the wall: "Next to him, Malchijah, one of the goldsmiths, made repairs as far as the house of the temple servants and the merchants, opposite the Inspection Gate, and as far as the room above the corner." This reference underscores the diverse skills and trades represented among those who participated in the rebuilding efforts.<br><br>4. <b>Malchiah, the Father of Pashhur</b>: In <a href="/1_chronicles/9-12.htm">1 Chronicles 9:12</a>, Malchiah is listed as the father of Pashhur, a priestly figure: "Adaiah son of Jeroham, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah; Maasai son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer." This genealogical mention places Malchiah within the priestly lineage, indicating his family's ongoing religious significance.<br><br>5. <b>Malchiah, the Musician</b>: In <a href="/1_chronicles/6-40.htm">1 Chronicles 6:40</a>, Malchiah is mentioned in the genealogy of the Levitical musicians: "The son of Michael, the son of Baaseiah, the son of Malchijah." This reference highlights the role of Malchiah's descendants in the worship practices of Israel, contributing to the musical aspect of temple service.<br><br>The various individuals named Malchiah in the Bible reflect the commonality of the name in ancient Israel and the diverse roles played by those who bore it. From priests and craftsmen to those involved in significant historical events, the name Malchiah is woven into the fabric of Israel's religious and communal life.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Malchiah</span><p>Malchijah, the Lord my king, or my counselor<a name="eas" id="eas"></a><div class="vheading2">Easton's Bible Dictionary</div>Jehovah's king. <p>(1.)
