Usage: Amasiah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is the name of a notable individual mentioned in the context of the Kingdom of Judah. Context: Amasiah is identified in the Bible as a captain in the army of King Jehoshaphat of Judah. He is noted for his voluntary service and dedication to the Lord. In 2 Chronicles 17:16, Amasiah is described as one who "willingly offered himself to the LORD," leading a contingent of 200,000 mighty men of valor. This passage highlights his commitment and leadership within the military structure of Judah during a period of religious reform and strengthening under Jehoshaphat's reign.
