Maaseiah Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Maaseiah was a priest who served during the reigns of Kings Zedekiah and Jehoiakim of Judah (Jer 21:1; 29.25; 37.3). He was the father of Zephaniah, who was also a priest (Jer 21:1; 29.25; 37.3). During the reign of Zedekiah, Maaseiah and his son Zephaniah were sent by the king to inquire of the prophet Jeremiah concerning the Babylonian invasion (Jer 21:1; 37.3). Maaseiah is also mentioned in a letter sent by Jeremiah to the exiles in Babylon, where he is referred to as the second priest under Jehoiada, the high priest (Jer 29:25). This suggests that Maaseiah held a significant position within the priestly hierarchy. The biblical text does not provide further details about Maaseiah's personal life or his other priestly duties.
