The name Seraiah means "Yahweh is ruler" or "Prince of the Lord," reflecting the theocentric culture of ancient Israel.<br><br>1. <b>Seraiah, the Father of Joab</b>: In <a href="/1_chronicles/4-13.htm">1 Chronicles 4:13-14</a>, Seraiah is mentioned as the father of Joab, who is the founder of the "Valley of Craftsmen." This Seraiah is part of the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah, highlighting the importance of lineage and heritage in Israelite society.<br><br>2. <b>Seraiah, the High Priest</b>: One of the most notable individuals named Seraiah was the high priest during the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah. He is mentioned in <a href="/2_kings/25-18.htm">2 Kings 25:18</a> and <a href="/jeremiah/52-24.htm">Jeremiah 52:24</a>. Seraiah was taken captive by the Babylonians during the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BC and was executed at Riblah by the order of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon. His death marked a significant moment in the history of the priesthood and the nation of Judah, as it symbolized the end of an era and the beginning of the Babylonian exile.<br><br>3. <b>Seraiah, the Son of Azriel</b>: In <a href="/jeremiah/36-26.htm">Jeremiah 36:26</a>, Seraiah, the son of Azriel, is mentioned as one of the officials sent by King Jehoiakim to arrest the prophet Jeremiah and his scribe Baruch. This Seraiah was part of the royal administration, illustrating the tension between the prophetic voices and the ruling authorities of the time.<br><br>4. <b>Seraiah, the Son of Neriah</b>: Another Seraiah, the son of Neriah, is found in <a href="/jeremiah/51-59.htm">Jeremiah 51:59-64</a>. He was a brother of Baruch, Jeremiah's scribe, and served as a quartermaster. Seraiah was entrusted with a prophetic message against Babylon, which he was to read aloud upon arriving in Babylon and then throw the scroll into the Euphrates River, symbolizing the eventual sinking of Babylon. This act demonstrated the sovereignty of God over the nations and His ultimate judgment against Babylon.<br><br>5. <b>Seraiah, the Ancestor of Ezra</b>: In the book of Ezra, Seraiah is listed as an ancestor of Ezra the scribe (<a href="/ezra/7.htm">Ezra 7:1</a>). This genealogy underscores the continuity of the priestly line and the restoration of the Jewish community after the Babylonian exile. Ezra's lineage through Seraiah highlights the importance of maintaining religious and cultural identity through the priestly heritage.<br><br>6. <b>Seraiah, the Leader in the Return from Exile</b>: In <a href="/nehemiah/12.htm">Nehemiah 12:1</a>, Seraiah is mentioned as one of the priests who returned with Zerubbabel and Jeshua during the first wave of exiles returning to Jerusalem. This Seraiah played a role in the reestablishment of the temple worship and the rebuilding of the community, emphasizing the theme of restoration and renewal in post-exilic Israel.<br><br>The various individuals named Seraiah in the Old Testament reflect the diverse roles and responsibilities within the Israelite community, from priestly duties to administrative functions. Each Seraiah, in his own context, contributed to the unfolding narrative of God's covenant people, demonstrating faithfulness, leadership, and, at times, the consequences of national disobedience.<a name="hit" id="hit"></a><div class="vheading2">Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Seraiah</span><p>prince of the Lord<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div><span class="encheading">Seraiah</span><p><ol> <li>The king's scribe or secretary in the reign of David.

The roll containing this message (<a href="/jeremiah/50-1.htm">Jeremiah 50:1</a>-8) Seraiah was to read to the exiles, and then, after fixing a stone to it, was to throw it into the Euphrates, uttering, as it sank, the prayer recorded in <a href="/jeremiah/51-59.htm">Jeremiah 51:59</a>-64.
