Asa was a Levite mentioned in a list of people who resettled in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. He was a gatekeeper and the son of Berechiah, the son of Asa. The Levites were responsible for various duties in the temple, including serving as gatekeepers. Asa's mention in this context suggests that he was part of the group of Levites who returned to Jerusalem to help restore worship at the temple.
