Maaidiah

From BiblePortal Wikipedia

Maaidiah [1]

(Heb. Maadyah', מִעִדְיָה , ornament of Jehovah; Septuag. Μααδι῎Αςα ,Vulg. Madia ), one of the priests who returned to Jerusalem with Zerubbabel ( Nehemiah 12:5); evidently the same with the Moadiah (Heb. Moady'Ah , מוֹעִדְיָה , festival of Jehovah; Sept. Μααδαί Vulg. Moadia ), whose son Piltai is mentioned in  Nehemiah 12:17 (where some connection with one Miniamin is obscurely noted); the true pointing being perhaps מֹעִדְיָה , Moadyah , which will make both forms coincide. B.C. 536.
