<p> (Heb. Maaseyah', מִעֲשֵׂיָה, or [&nbsp;1 Chronicles 15:18; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 15:20; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 23:1; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 25:11; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 28:7; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 34:8; &nbsp;Jeremiah 25:4], ''Maaseya'Hu'' , מִעֲשֵׂיָהוּ, the work of Jehovah; Sept. Μαασία, with many slight various readings), the name of several men. </p> <p> '''1.''' One of the [[Levites]] of the second class, appointed porters of the [[Temple]] under David (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 15:18), and also musicians "with psalteries upon Alamoth" (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 15:20). B.C. 1043. </p> <p> '''2.''' The son of Adaiah, and one of the "captains of hundreds" whom Jehoiada associated with himself in restoring the young king [[Jehoash]] to the throne (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 23:1). B.C. 877. </p> <p> '''3.''' A chieftain in the time of Uzziah, who had charge of the military in a subordinate rank (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 26:11). B.C. 808. </p> <p> '''4.''' The "king's son," killed by Zichri, the Ephraimitish hero, in the invasion of Judah by Pekah, king of Israel, during the reign of Ahaz (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 28:7). The personage thus designated is twice mentioned in connection with the "governor of the city" (&nbsp;1 Kings 22:26; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 18:25), and appears to have held an office of importance at the [[Jewish]] court (perhaps acting as viceroy during the absence of the king), just as the queen dowager was honored with the title of "king's mother" (compare &nbsp;2 Kings 24:12 with &nbsp;Jeremiah 29:2), or ''Gebirah'' , 1. "mistress," or "powerful lady." (See [[Malchiah]]). For the conjecture of Geiger, (See Joash), 4. Perhaps, however, the individual here referred to was literally one of the sons of Ahaz. B.C. cir. 738. </p> <p> '''5.''' The "governor of the city," one of those sent by king Josiah to repair the Temple (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 34:8). B.C. 623. The date and rank render it not improbable that he was the [[Maaseiah]] (Heb. Machseyah', מִחְֵֹסיָה, whose [[Refuge]] is [[Jehovah]] ; Sept. Μαασααίς v.r. Μασσααίς, etc.), the father of Neriah, and grandfather of [[Baruch]] and Seraiah, which latter were two persons of note to whom Jeremiah had recourse in his divine communications (&nbsp;Jeremiah 32:12; &nbsp;Jeremiah 51:59): and in that case he is likewise probably identical with MELCHI, the son of Addi, and father of Neri, in Christ's maternal genealogy (&nbsp;Luke 3:28). </p> <p> '''6.''' The son of Shallum, apparently a priest, since he had a chamber in the Temple, and was one of its custodians (&nbsp;Jeremiah 35:4). B.C. 606. </p> <p> '''7.''' The father of the priest Zephaniah or Zedekiah, which latter was twice sent by the king with a message of inquiry to Jeremiah, and was denounced by the prophet for falsely encouraging the people (&nbsp;Jeremiah 21:1; &nbsp;Jeremiah 37:3; &nbsp;Jeremiah 29:21; &nbsp;Jeremiah 29:25). B.C. ante 589. </p> <p> '''8.''' Son of [[Ithiel]] and father of Kolaiah, a Benjamite, one of whose descendants resided at Jerusalem after the exile (&nbsp;Nehemiah 11:7). B.C. long ante 536. </p> <p> '''9.''' One of the descendants of Judah who resided at Jerusalem after the captivity; he was the son of Baruch, and his genealogy is traced back to one [[Shiloni]] (&nbsp;Nehemiah 11:5). B.C. 536. In the corresponding narrative of &nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:5, apparently the same person is called ASAIAH. </p> <p> '''10.''' One of the priests of the kindred of Jeshua, who agreed to divorce their [[Gentile]] wives after the captivity (&nbsp;Ezra 10:18). B.C. 459. </p> <p> '''11.''' Another priest, one of the "sons" of Harim, who divorced his Gentile wife after the exile (&nbsp;Ezra 10:21). B.C. 459. Perhaps it was he (apparently a priest) who formed one of the chorus that celebrated the completion of the new cite walls (&nbsp;Nehemiah 12:42). B.C. 446. </p> <p> '''12.''' Still another priest, of the "sons" of Pashur, who divorced his Gentile wife after the return from [[Babylon]] (&nbsp;Ezra 10:22). B.C. 459. Perhaps the same with one of the priests who celebrated with trumpets the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem (&nbsp;Nehemiah 12:41). B.C. 446. </p> <p> '''13.''' An Israelite, of the "sons" of Pahath-moab, who divorced his Gentile wife after the [[Babylonian]] captivity (&nbsp;Ezra 10:30). B.C. 459. </p> <p> '''14.''' The son of Ananiah, and father of Azariah, which last repaired part of the walls of Jerusalem after the exile (&nbsp;Nehemiah 3:23). B.C. ante 446. </p> <p> '''15.''' One of the principal [[Israelites]] who stood on Ezra's right hand while he read and expounded the law to the people (&nbsp;Nehemiah 8:4). B.C. cir. 410. He is perhaps identical with one of the popular chiefs who joined in the sacred covenant with Nehemiah (&nbsp;Nehemiah 10:25). B.C. cir. 410. </p> <p> '''16.''' One of the priests who assisted the Levites in expounding the law to the people as it was read by Ezra (&nbsp;Nehemiah 8:7). B.C. cir. 410. </p>
