Conditional birth estimate
Conditional birth bounds under generation assumptions; not attested parental ages, biological limits or a lifespan.
The anchors give incompatible conditional intervals. This calculation establishes no birth year.
Below are relatives with a selected birth year, the generations separating them, and the interval allowed by each anchor. Each relative’s page shows available dates and sources. The overall estimate uses the intersection of the allowed intervals.

Jaaziah Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Jaaziah is mentioned in 1Ch 24:26-27 as a descendant of Merari, one of the three main divisions of the Levites. He is specifically identified as the son of Merari through his son Beno.
This passage describes the organization of the Levites during the reign of King David, who divided them into groups for their various duties in the service of the temple (1Ch 24:1-19). The descendants of Merari, including Jaaziah, were among those assigned specific roles and responsibilities.
As a Levite, Jaaziah would have been involved in various aspects of worship and service in the tabernacle and later the temple. The Levites were responsible for assisting the priests, singing, playing musical instruments, and maintaining the sacred spaces.
The mention of Jaaziah in this genealogical record serves to demonstrate the continuity of the Levitical lineage and the organization of their duties during David's reign. It also highlights the importance of the Levites in the worship and service of God.
