Maaseiah was a descendant of Benjamin who lived in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile (Neh 11:7). He is mentioned in the list of people who resettled in Jerusalem, which was compiled by Nehemiah as part of his efforts to repopulate the city (Neh 11:1-36). Maaseiah is identified as a member of the tribe of Benjamin, one of the two remaining tribes of Israel after the exile. The resettlement of Jerusalem was an important step in the restoration of the Jewish community and the reestablishment of their presence in the holy city.
