Jahaziel — a proper name meaning 'God sees,' borne by warriors, priests, Levites, and a restoration-era ancestor.
A theophoric Hebrew name (יַחֲזִיאֵל) combining the root חזה ('to see, behold') with אֵל ('God'), meaning 'God sees' or 'God beholds.' At least five distinct individuals bear this name across Chronicles and Ezra. The most dramatic appearance is the Levite Jahaziel son of Zechariah, upon whom the Spirit of the LORD came during Jehoshaphat's crisis, who prophesied that the battle belonged to God, not Judah (2 Chr 20:14). Others include a Benjamite warrior among David's ambidextrous fighters (1 Chr 12:5), a priest appointed to blow trumpets before the ark (1 Chr 16:6), and Levites in David's temple organization (1 Chr 23:19; 24:23).

1. Jahaziel (proper name) — The personal name Yaḥăzîʾēl (יַחֲזִיאֵל, 'God sees/beholds'), carried by five or more men: a Benjamite warrior who joined David at Ziklag (1 Chr 12:5), a priest who blew trumpets before the ark (1 Chr 16:6), a Levite descended from Hebron (1 Chr 23:19; 24:23), the prophetic Levite who announced divine victory for Jehoshaphat (2 Chr 20:14), and a clan ancestor in the return from exile (Ezra 8:5). Spanish 'Yajaziel/Yaḥaziel' and English 'Jahaziel/Yachaziel' both transliterate the theophoric compound faithfully. 6×
