of the family of Seraiah, Meraiah
on Nehemiah 12:12-21
A second list of course heads follows, now serving "In the days of Joiakim," the second generation after the return. Several of these names recur among the sealers of the covenant in chapter 10. The priesthood renews itself by father's house, name matched to name and course to course.
This site's exposition
of Abijah, Zichri
A single head, Piltai, serves both Miniamin and Moadiah, the only place in Joiakim's list where two houses share one name. Zichri heads the house of Abijah.
