Haggiah חַגִּיָּה

Haggiah is mentioned in 1Ch.6.30 as part of the genealogy of the Levites, specifically the descendants of Merari, one of the three sons of Levi. He is listed as the son of Shimea and the father of Asaiah. The Levites were the tribe chosen by God to assist the priests in the tabernacle and temple services. The descendants of Merari were responsible for the structural components of the tabernacle, such as the frames, crossbars, posts, and bases (Num.3.36).
