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

<p> (Heb. Mattanyah', מִתִּנְיָה, gift of Jehovah, also in the prolonged form Mattanya'hul, מִתִּנְיָהוּ, 1 Chronicles 25:4; 1 Chronicles 25:16; 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 (1 Chronicles 25:4; 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]] (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]] (2 Chronicles 29:13). B.C. 726. </p> <p> 3. The original name of ZEDEKIAH (See [[Zedekiah]]) (q.v.), the last king of [[Judah]] (2 Kings 24:17). In like manner Pharach had changed the name of his brother [[Eliakim]] to [[Jehoiakim]] on a similar occasion (2 Kings 23:34), when he restored the succession to the elder branch of the royal family (comp. 2 Kings 23:31; 2 Kings 23:36). </p> <p> 4. An [[Israelite]] of the "sons" (residents) of Elam, who divorced his [[Gentile]] wife after the captivity (Ezra 10:26). B.C. 459. </p> <p> 5. [[Another]] Israelite of the "sons" (residents) of Zattu, who did the same (Ezra 10:27). B.C. 459. </p> <p> 6. Another Israelite of the "sons" (i.e. inhabitants) of Pahath-Moab, who did likewise (Ezra 10:30). B.C. 459. </p> <p> 7. Another Israelite of the descendants (or residents) of Bani, who acted similarly (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]] (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 (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 (Nehemiah 11:17; Nehemiah 12:8), and also guarded the gates (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 (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 (Nehemiah 13:13). B.C. considerably ante 410. See also No. 8. </p>

[[Mentioned]] among the "porters," keepers of "the storehouses of the gates" (Nehemiah 12:25 ), and again in Nehemiah 12:35 as among the "priests' sons with trumpets." </p> <p> (3) May be the same as (2), though in 2 Chronicles 20:14 he is mentioned as an ancestor of that [[Jahaziel]] whose inspired words in the midst of the congregation encouraged [[Jehoshaphat]] to withstand the invasion of Moab, [[Ammon]] and [[Seir]] ( 2 Chronicles 20:14 ff). </p> <p> (4-7) [[Four]] others who had foreign wives, (a) the [[Matthanias]] of 1 [[Esdras]] 9:27 (Ezra 10:26 ); (b) the [[Othonias]] of 1 Esdras 9:28 (Ezra 10:27 ); (c) the Matthanias of 1 Esdras 9:31 (Ezra 10:30 ); (d) the fourth of these in 1 Esdras 9:34 the King James Version has had his name blended into that of Mattenai, and the two appear as the composite name [[Mamnitanemus]] (Ezra 10:37 ). He is a son of Bani. </p> <p> (8) A L evite, father of Zaccur, ancestor of [[Hanan]] the under-treasurer of the [[Levitical]] offerings under Nehemiah (Nehemiah 13:13 ). </p> <p> (9) One of the sons of [[Heman]] the singer, whose office it was to blow the horns in the temple-service as [[David]] had appointed it (1 Chronicles 25:4 , 1 Chronicles 25:5 ).
