Michaiah (Man living at the time of Divided Monarchy)
The name Michaiah is applied to several distinct people in the Old Testament: the mother of King Abijah of Judah, likely the same woman elsewhere called Maacah (2 Chronicles 13:2); one of the officials Jehoshaphat sent throughout Judah to teach the law (2 Chronicles 17:7); a man present when the high priest Hilkiah reported discovery of the law book to King Josiah's officials (2 Kings 22:12); the son of Gemariah, who reported Jeremiah's warnings to the royal court after hearing Baruch read the scroll aloud (Jeremiah 36:11-13); and a Levite and a priest, both involved in the dedication of Jerusalem's rebuilt walls under Nehemiah (Nehemiah 12:35, 41).
