Ahijah - brother (i.e., "friend") of Yahweh.

(1) One of the sons of Bela (1 Chr. 8:7, R.V.). In A.V. called "Ahiah."

(2) One of the five sons of Jerahmeel, who was great-grandson of Judah (1 Chr. 2:25).

(3) Son of Ahitub (1 Sam. 14:3, 18), Ichabod's brother; the same probably as Ahimelech, who was high priest at Nob in the reign of Saul (1 Sam. 22:11). Some, however, suppose that Ahimelech was the brother of Ahijah, and that they both officiated as high priests, Ahijah at Gibeah or Kirjath-jearim, and Ahimelech at Nob.

(4) A Pelonite, one of David's heroes (1 Chr. 11:36); called also Eliam (2 Sam. 23:34).

(5) A Levite having charge of the sacred treasury in the temple (1 Chr. 26:20).

(6) One of Solomon's secretaries (1 Kings 4:3).

(7) Ahijah HaShiloni, the Biblical prophet.
