Adaiah son of Jeroham
The name "Adaiah" in Hebrew means "Yahweh has adorned" or "Yahweh has made." This name reflects a deep connection to God, suggesting that Adaiah's life and lineage were seen as a testament to God's grace and favor. Jeroham, meaning "cherished" or "loved," indicates a family line that was valued and esteemed, possibly for their faithfulness or service in the community.

the son of Pashhur
Pashhur, meaning "freedom" or "split," is a name that appears elsewhere in the Bible, notably in the book of Jeremiah, where a Pashhur is a priest who opposes Jeremiah. This connection may suggest a complex family history, where some members were involved in significant religious and political events of their time.

the son of Malchijah
Malchijah means "my king is Yahweh," a name that signifies loyalty and devotion to God as the ultimate ruler. This name is common among those who served in the temple, indicating a heritage of religious service and dedication.

and Maasai son of Adiel
Maasai, meaning "work of Yahweh," suggests a life dedicated to fulfilling God's purposes. Adiel, meaning "ornament of God," implies a life that reflects God's beauty and glory. Together, these names highlight a lineage committed to living out their faith in tangible ways.

the son of Jahzerah
Jahzerah, meaning "whom Yahweh has helped," underscores the belief in divine assistance and intervention. This name suggests that the family experienced God's help in significant ways, reinforcing their faith and reliance on Him.

the son of Meshullam
Meshullam, meaning "friend" or "ally," indicates a person who is trustworthy and supportive. This name may reflect the family's role in the community as reliable and faithful servants of God.

the son of Meshillemith
Meshillemith, meaning "recompense" or "reward," suggests a belief in divine justice and reward. This name implies that the family lived with an expectation of God's faithfulness to reward those who serve Him.

the son of Immer
Immer, meaning "he has said" or "he has spoken," is a name associated with one of the priestly divisions. This connection to the priesthood highlights the family's long-standing role in religious leadership and their commitment to upholding God's word and commands.

(12) And Adaiah the son of Jeroham.--Nehemiah 11:12 runs: "And their brethren, doers of the work of the house, 822; and Adaiah son of Jeroham, son of Pelaliah, son of Amzi, son of Zechariah, son of Pashur, son of Malchijah." Thus the line of Adaiah as given there exactly corresponds with the present passage, save that it inserts three names here wanting between Jerobam and Pashur: another illustration of the freedom of the compiler in dealing with these lists.

Malchijah was the fifth of the twenty-four priestly classes.

Maasiai the son of Adiel . . . son of Immer.--Immer was the sixteenth course of the priests. The parallel (Nehemiah 11:13) reads: "And his brethren, heads of clans, 242; and Amashsai son of Azareel, son of Ahzai, son of Meshillemoth, son of Immer, and their brethren, mighty men of valour, 128; and their overseer was Zabdiel son of Haggedolim." Amashsai and Maasiai are variants of the same name, and perhaps both bad spellings of Amasai (1Chronicles 6:35; 1Chronicles 12:18). Adiel may well be a mistake for Azareel. Jahzerah and Ahzai are evidently two forms of one name, Ahzai,--Ahaziah being perhaps more correct. Meshullam in our line is either an additional link, or a copyist's anticipation of part of the following name. The line in Nehemiah is therefore originally identical with the present. 1Chronicles 9:10-12 show that at the date of the present register three entire courses of the priests, and two clans representing two other courses, as well as the ruler or president of the Temple, dwelt in Jerusalem. . . .
