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.

Maaseiah Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Maaseiah was a son of King Ahaz of Judah who was killed during a war between Judah and Israel (2Ch 28:7). During the reign of Ahaz, Judah faced military threats from neighboring kingdoms, including Israel and Syria (2Ch 28:1-15). In one battle, Zichri, a mighty warrior from the tribe of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah, along with Azrikam, the officer in charge of the palace, and Elkanah, who was second to the king. The death of Maaseiah and other high-ranking officials demonstrates the severity of the defeat suffered by Judah and the consequences of Ahaz's unfaithfulness to God (2Ch 28:19). This event also highlights the political and military tensions between the kingdoms of Israel and Judah during this period.
