Overview
Zia is mentioned in the genealogical records of 1 Chronicles as one of the notable leaders of the tribe of Gad. He served during the reign of King David and was counted among the chief men of his household, representing the strength and stability of Israel's tribal leadership during this period of relative peace and consolidation.
Key Scriptures
"Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers" (1 Chronicles 5:15, NASB). "These were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel" (1 Chronicles 5:17, ESV).
Application
Just as Zia faithfully served in his appointed leadership role, believers are called to steward whatever position and influence God has entrusted to them with integrity and dedication to His purposes.
