The mention of Adaiah here places him within the priestly lineage, which is significant in the context of 1 Chronicles, as the book often emphasizes the importance of genealogies and the roles of the Levites and priests. Jeroham, his father, is a name that appears in various genealogies, indicating a family of some standing within the priestly community.the son of Pashhur Pashhur is a name associated with a priestly family. In <a href="/jeremiah/20.htm">Jeremiah 20:1-6</a>, a Pashhur is mentioned as a priest who opposed Jeremiah, though it is unclear if this is the same individual. The name means "split" or "cleft," and it is significant in the context of priestly duties and temple service.the son of Malchijah Malchijah, meaning "my king is Yahweh," is a name that appears multiple times in the Old Testament, often associated with priestly or Levitical lines. This connection underscores the importance of maintaining a pure lineage for those serving in the temple, as seen in <a href="/ezra/10-25.htm">Ezra 10:25</a>, where Malchijah is listed among those who had taken foreign wives and were called to repentance.Maasai son of Adiel Maasai, meaning "work of Yahweh," is another priestly figure, emphasizing the divine calling and service of the priesthood. Adiel, meaning "ornament of God," further highlights the heritage and responsibility of those in the priestly line to reflect God's glory and holiness.the son of Jahzerah Jahzerah is a less common name, and its meaning is not entirely clear, though it may relate to "whom God has helped." This name, like others in the genealogy, serves to establish the legitimacy and continuity of the priestly line, which was crucial for maintaining the religious and social order in Israel.the son of Meshullam Meshullam, meaning "friend" or "ally," is a name that appears frequently in the genealogies of the post-exilic community. This reflects the restoration and rebuilding efforts of the community, as seen in <a href="/nehemiah/3-4.htm">Nehemiah 3:4</a>, where a Meshullam is involved in repairing the walls of Jerusalem.the son of Meshillemith Meshillemith, meaning "recompense" or "reward," is a name that underscores the theme of divine justice and reward, which is a recurring theme in the Chronicles. The genealogical record serves as a reminder of God's faithfulness to His promises and the importance of faithfulness in return.the son of Immer Immer is a significant priestly family name, as seen in <a href="/jeremiah/20.htm">Jeremiah 20:1</a>, where Pashhur, a son of Immer, is mentioned. The Immer family was one of the 24 priestly divisions established by King David, as recorded in <a href="/1_chronicles/24-14.htm">1 Chronicles 24:14</a>.

Thus the line of Adaiah as given there exactly corresponds with the present passage, save that it inserts three names here wanting between Jerobam and Pashur: another illustration of the freedom of the compiler in dealing with these lists.Malchijah was the fifth of the twenty-four priestly classes.Maasiai the son of Adiel . . . son of Immer.--Immer was the sixteenth course of the priests. The parallel (<a href="/nehemiah/11-13.htm" title="And his brothers, chief of the fathers, two hundred forty and two: and Amashai the son of Azareel, the son of Ahasai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer,">Nehemiah 11:13</a>) reads: "And his brethren, heads of clans, 242; and Amashsai son of Azareel, son of Ahzai, son of Meshillemoth, son of Immer, and their brethren, mighty men of valour, 128; and their overseer was Zabdiel son of Haggedolim." Amashsai and Maasiai are variants of the same name, and perhaps both bad spellings of Amasai (<a href="/1_chronicles/6-35.htm" title="The son of Zuph, the son of Elkanah, the son of Mahath, the son of Amasai,">1Chronicles 6:35</a>; <a href="/1_chronicles/12-18.htm" title="Then the spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, Your are we, David, and on your side, you son of Jesse: peace, peace be to you, and peace be to your helpers; for your God helps you. Then David received them, and made them captains of the band.">1Chronicles 12:18</a>). Adiel may well be a mistake for Azareel. Jahzerah and Ahzai are evidently two forms of one name, Ahzai,--Ahaziah being perhaps more correct. Meshullam in our line is either an additional link, or a copyist's anticipation of part of the following name. The line in Nehemiah is therefore originally identical with the present. <a href="/context/1_chronicles/9-10.htm" title="And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,">1Chronicles 9:10-12</a> show that at the date of the present register three entire courses of the priests, and two clans representing two other courses, as well as the ruler or president of the Temple, dwelt in Jerusalem. . . . <a href="/commentaries/1_chronicles/9-12.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>Adaiah וַעֲדָיָה֙ (wa·‘ă·ḏā·yāh) Conjunctive waw | Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5718.htm">Strong's 5718: </a> Adaiah -- 'Yah has ornamented Himself', the name of a number of Israelites son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Jeroham, יְרֹחָ֔ם (yə·rō·ḥām) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3395.htm">Strong's 3395: </a> Jeroham -- 'may He be compassionate', the name of several Israelites the son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Pashhur, פַּשְׁח֖וּר (paš·ḥūr) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6583.htm">Strong's 6583: </a> Pashhur -- five Israelites the son בֶּן־ (ben-) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1121.htm">Strong's 1121: </a> A son of Malchijah;
