(Heb. Bilgah', בַּלְגָּה , prob. Cheerful, but according to First, First-Born; Sept. Βελγάς and Βαλγάς ), the name of two priests.

1. The head of the fifteenth sacerdotal course for the temple service, as arranged by David ( 1 Chronicles 24:14). B.C. 1043.

2. A priest who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel and Jeshua ( Nehemiah 12:5;  Nehemiah 12:18), B.C. 536; perhaps the same as the Bilgai of  Nehemiah 10:8.
