Josiphiah:

increase of the Lord; the Lord's finishing

International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia

Josiphiah:

jos-i-fi'-a (yociphyah, "Yah adds"): Found in Ezr 8:10, where Massoretic Text is "and of the sons of.... Shelomith the son of Josiphiah." With the help of Septuagint A and 1 Esdras 8:36, the name "Bani" (which is the same in the unpointed text as "the sons of" and was omitted through haplography) can be supplied above before "Shelomith." Josiphia is thus the father of Shelomith, one of Ezra's companions. 1 Esdras 8:36 has "Josaphias."

Smith's Bible Dictionary

Josiphiah:

(whom Jehovah will increase) the father or ancestor of Shelomith, who returned with Ezra (Ezra 8:10). (B.C. 459)
