Asaiah was a descendant of Judah mentioned in a list of people who lived in Jerusalem, recorded in 1 Chronicles 9. He is described as "the firstborn of the Shilonites," which likely refers to a branch of the tribe of Judah. The context suggests that this list represents those who resettled in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. As a descendant of Judah living in Jerusalem, Asaiah was part of the group that helped repopulate the city and restore its community.
