Seraiah
Seraiah or Sraya (שְׂרָיָה "Soldier/Prince of/is the LORD", Standard Hebrew Səraya, Tiberian Hebrew Śərāyāh) is the name of several people mentioned in the Hebrew Bible:
The father of Joab (1 Chronicles 4:13, 14). It is unlikely that this Joab is the son of Tsruiah, King David's sister, because the Seraiah mentioned in the Book of Chronicles was the brother of Othniel, the nephew of Caleb, who lived centuries earlier. 1 Chronicles 4:13, Joshua 15:17.
The grandfather of Jehu (1 Chr. 4:35).
One of David's scribes or secretaries (2 Samuel 8:17).
Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth (Jer. 40:8), one of the officials who survived the defeat and exile of Judea, a Netophathite, and chief priest of the time of Zedekiah. He was later carried captive by Nebuchadnezzar to Babylon, and there put to death (2 Kings 25:18, 23).
Ezra 2:2.
Father or ancestor of Ezra the scribe (Book of Ezra 7:1), understood by many as the same person as Seraiah (4)
A ruler of the temple (Nehemiah 11:11).
A priest of the days of Jehoiakim (Neh. 12:1, 12).
