Overview
Meshillemith (also spelled Meshillemoth) was a priest during the restoration period after the Babylonian exile. He is recorded in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles as part of the priestly line that ministered in the temple at Jerusalem following the return from captivity.
Key Scriptures
"And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, son of Pashur, son of Malchijah, and Maasai the son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer" (1 Chronicles 9:12, ESV).
This genealogy demonstrates the continuity of the priestly office and God's faithfulness in preserving a remnant to serve in His temple even after exile and judgment.
Application
We can trust that God preserves His faithful servants and purposes, maintaining His covenant commitments even through seasons of discipline and restoration.
