<p> Or more properly Mattan-Jah—Gift of the Lord. A man's name, chief of the family of the Levites, &nbsp;1 Chronicles 25:16. </p>

<p> (Heb. Mattanyah', מִתִּנְיָה, ''Gift Of Jehovah,'' also in the prolonged form ''Mattanya'Hul, מִתִּנְיָהוּ,'' &nbsp;1 Chronicles 25:4; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 25:16; &nbsp;2 Chronicles 29:13; Sept. Ματθανίας or Ματθανία v. r. Μαθθάν and Βατθανίας ''),'' the name of several men. </p> <p> '''1.''' A Levite, one of the sons of Heman, appointed by David Temple singers, and head of the ninth class of musicians (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 25:4; &nbsp;1 Chronicles 25:16). B.C. 1014. He is possibly the same with the father of Jeiel, and ancestor of the [[Jahaziel]] who predicted Jehoshaphat's victory over the [[Moabites]] (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 20:14). </p> <p> '''2.''' A Levite of the descendants of Asaph, who assisted in purifying the Temple at the reformation undertaken by [[Hezekiah]] (&nbsp;2 Chronicles 29:13). B.C. 726. </p> <p> '''3.''' The original name of ZEDEKIAH (See Zedekiah) (q.v.), the last king of Judah (&nbsp;2 Kings 24:17). In like manner Pharach had changed the name of his brother [[Eliakim]] to [[Jehoiakim]] on a similar occasion (&nbsp;2 Kings 23:34), when he restored the succession to the elder branch of the royal family (comp. &nbsp;2 Kings 23:31; &nbsp;2 Kings 23:36). </p> <p> '''4.''' An [[Israelite]] of the "sons" (residents) of Elam, who divorced his [[Gentile]] wife after the captivity (&nbsp;Ezra 10:26). B.C. 459. </p> <p> '''5.''' Another Israelite of the "sons" (residents) of Zattu, who did the same (&nbsp;Ezra 10:27). B.C. 459. </p> <p> '''6.''' Another Israelite of the "sons" (i.e. inhabitants) of Pahath-Moab, who did likewise (&nbsp;Ezra 10:30). B.C. 459. </p> <p> '''7.''' Another Israelite of the descendants (or residents) of Bani, who acted similarly (&nbsp;Ezra 10:37). B.C. 459. </p> <p> '''8.''' A descendant of Asalph (but named as one of "the priests' sons," i.e. perhaps assistants, for Asaph was only a Levite), and great-grandfather of the Zechariah who assisted in celebrating upon trumpets the completion of the walls of [[Jerusalem]] (&nbsp;Nehemiah 12:35). B.C. much ante 446. His father's name, Michaiah, and grandfather's, Zaccur, present features of identity with Nos. 9 and 10, but in other respects the notices are different. Some interpreters suspect a corruption of the text, and in that case all discrepancies may be removed. </p> <p> '''9.''' A Levite, son of Micah, of the family of Asaph, resident in the neighborhood of Jerusalem after the exile (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:15). B.C. cir. 440. He is evidently the same with the leader of those who offered prayer and praise in the Temple after the captivity (&nbsp;Nehemiah 11:17; &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:8), and also guarded the gates (&nbsp;Nehemiah 12:25). He also appears to be the same with the father of [[Hashabiah]] and great-grandfather of Uzzi, mentioned as one of the chief [[Levites]] in the same connection (&nbsp;Nehemiah 12:22), but in that case he must have been a very aged man at the time. See also No. 8. </p> <p> '''10.''' A Levite; father of Zaccur, and grandfather of the [[Hanan]] whom Nehemiah set over the distribution of the tithes (&nbsp;Nehemiah 13:13). B.C. considerably ante 410. See also No. 8. </p>
