"the three and twentieth to Delaiah, the four and twentieth to Maaziah." — 1 Chronicles 24:18 (ASV)
Delaiah. — 1 Chronicles 3:24, a common post-exilic name (Jah draws out, i.e., frees): but compare Jeremiah 36:12, and Note on 1 Chronicles 3:1.
Maaziah. — Here only. Perhaps “Maadiah” (Nehemiah 12:5) should be read. So Syriac, “Ma’adyâ;” Arabic, “Mi’diyyâ.” But Septuagint (Vaticanus), “Maasai” (? Maaseiah); Vulgate, “Maaziau.”
