Maaziah
ma.az.yah is a personal name used in an appointment list and a Levite-list context.
The term functions as a personal name in roster-like contexts: it identifies the recipient of the twenty-fourth lot in 1 Chronicles 24:18 and appears among those introduced as Levites in Nehemiah 10:9.

Both supplied forms are tagged Noun · Proper. In 1 Chronicles 24:18, the form identifies the person to whom the twenty-fourth lot fell; the APB renders, “The twenty-third fell to Delaiah and the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.” In Nehemiah 10:9, the form occurs in a list introduced as Levites, though the APB’s listed English names do not isolate its specific contribution.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In 1 Chronicles 24:18, the APB explicitly gives “Maaziah” in the allotment statement. In Nehemiah 10:9, it renders a Levite list but does not visibly align the supplied form with an English name.
