MATTITHIAH

(Heb. mattiṯyâ, mattiṯyāhû)

1. A Korahite Levite who after the Exile ministered in the temple as a baker of cakes for liturgical services (1 Chr. 9:31); the first son of Shallum.

2. A levitical gatekeeper during the reign of David (1 Chr. 15:18); the son of Jeduthun (25:3). A temple musician who played the lyre as a part of prophetic activity (1 Chr. 25:1, 3, 21), he accompanied the ark to Jerusalem (16:5).

3. The son of Nebo, persuaded by Ezra to divorce his pagan wife (Ezra 10:43; 1 Esdr. 9:35). Since his name does not appear among the priests and Levites, he was probably a member of the Israelite laity.

4. An influential Israelite who accompanied Ezra when he read publicly from the book of the Law (Neh. 8:4).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
