Mahazioth was a Kohathite Levite, one of the sons of Heman appointed by David to lead temple music, and he headed the twenty-third of the twenty-four courses of musicians who served on a rotating schedule (1 Chronicles 25:4, 30-31). His name means “visions,” fitting a family whose musical service was described as prophesying with instruments (1 Chronicles 25:1). Nothing else is recorded of him.
