Description
Who was Delaiah?
Delaiah is mentioned in 1Ch.24.18 as a priest who was appointed by King David to oversee the twenty-third division of the priestly order. David, along with Zadok and Ahimelech, organized the priests into twenty-four divisions to ensure a systematic and orderly service in the temple.
Each division was responsible for serving in the temple for a specific period, and the order was determined by casting lots. Delaiah's division was the twenty-third in the order of service.
The organization of the priests into divisions allowed for a fair distribution of duties and responsibilities, ensuring that the temple service ran smoothly and efficiently. This system also allowed the priests to balance their temple duties with their other responsibilities, such as teaching the law and ministering to the people.
Apart from this mention in the context of the priestly divisions, no other details are provided about Delaiah's life or specific role. His inclusion in this list highlights the importance of the priestly order and the organization of the temple service during the reign of King David.
Relations
Direct connections
The kinship import reads the registry's own columns — parent, child, sibling, spouse — for every entity in it, and records none here. An extracted relation would be listed beside them, and none names this person either.
Not stated
No family is recorded for this person.
Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
