Biography
Hashabiah was a Levite who returned to Jerusalem from Babylonian exile. He was among the Levites who accompanied Ezra on his journey from Babylon to Jerusalem. Hashabiah, along with Sherebiah, was entrusted with the care of the silver, gold, and vessels for the temple. He also signed the covenant of faithfulness to God's law during the time of Nehemiah. Later, Hashabiah is mentioned as one of the Levite leaders during the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem. (Ezr.8.19,24; Neh.10.11; 12.24).
