Editing Ahijah

'''Ahijah''' ({{Langx|he|אֲחִיָּה}} ''ʾĂḥīyyā'', "brother of [[Yahweh|Yah]]"; [[Latin]] and [[Douay–Rheims Bible|Douay–Rheims]]: Ahias) is a name of several biblical individuals:

# [[Ahijah the Shilonite]], the Biblical prophet who divided the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah.
# One of the sons of [[Bela (biblical figure)|Bela]] (1 Chr. 8:7, [[Revised Version|RV]]). In [[Authorized King James Version|AV (KJV)]] called "Ahiah."
# One of the five sons of Jerahmeel, who was great-grandson of [[Judah (son of Jacob)|Judah]] (1 Chr. 2:25).
# A Pelonite, one of David's heroes (1 Chr. 11:36); called also [[Eliam]] (2 Sam. 23:34).
# A [[Levite]] having charge of the sacred treasury in the temple (1 Chr. 26:20).
# One of Solomon's secretaries (1 Kings 4:3).
# Son of [[Ahitub (High Priest)|Ahitub]] (1 Sam. 14:3, 18), [[Ichabod]]'s brother; the same probably as [[Ahimelech]], who was High Priest at Nob in the reign of [[Saul]] (1 Sam. 22:11) and at [[Shiloh (biblical city)|Shiloh]], where the [[Tabernacle]] was set up. Some, however, suppose that [[Ahimelech]] was the brother of Ahijah, and that they both officiated as high priests, Ahijah at [[Gibeah]] or Kirjath-jearim, and Ahimelech at Nob.
# Father of King [[Baasha of Israel]]

A man named [[Ahijah (exilarch)|Ahijah]] also appears in the Babylonian Talmud in the 2nd century AD as one of the first [[Exilarch|Babylonian Exilarchs]].
