Levite name in 1 Chronicles, possibly meaning 'Yahweh has girded' or variant of Qishi
A Levite mentioned in the context of David's organization of temple worship. The name's form is disputed among scholars, with some suggesting it should be read as Qishi (as in the parallel text in 1 Chronicles 6:29). The Greek transliteration Kaisaiou suggests the name may have carried religious significance within Levitical families. This represents one of many Levitical family names preserved in Chronicles' genealogical records.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Appears only in 1 Chronicles 15:17 as a Levite ancestor, with manuscript variants suggesting textual uncertainty. The BDB notes the form is dubious and cross-references suggest identity with Qishi from chapter 6. The multilingual evidence shows transliteration rather than translation, consistent with proper names. Greek versions attempt to preserve the Hebrew phonetics, though with variations in spelling. 1×
