Abia
(Redirected from Abiah)
This entry incorporates text from Easton's Bible Dictionary, 1897, with some modernisation.
Abia – my father is the Lord, the Greek form of Abijah, or Abijam (Matt. 1:7), instead of Abiah (1 Chr. 7:8). In Luke 1:5, the name refers to the head of the eighth of the twenty-four courses into which David divided the priests (1 Chr. 24:10).
