Mahath, a Levite, participated in the purification of the temple during the reign of King Hezekiah.
Mahath son of Amasai was a Kohathite Levite who participated in the purification and rededication of the Jerusalem temple during King Hezekiah's reform (2 Chronicles 29:12). He is listed among the Levites who sanctified themselves and carried the unclean things out of the temple to the Kidron Valley. A second Mahath appears in 2 Chronicles 31:13 as an overseer of the temple offerings under Hezekiah, and the two may be the same individual.
