Asaiah

Asaiah (Hebrew: עשיה "God made me") was the personal secretary of Josiah, king of Judah in the 7th century BCE, and according to the Bible (II Kings, Chapter 22, and Books of Chronicles 2, Chapter 34), is one of Josiah's deputation to the prophet Huldah. A seal with the text Asayahu servant of the king probably belonged to him.[1] Another seal possibly referencing him, found by the Temple Mount Sifting Project, reads "belonging to Yed[a‛]yah (son of) Asayahu".[2]
