ma-thi’-as (Matthias, or Maththias; Mattithyah, “given of Yah”): Matthias was the one upon whom the lot fell when he, along with Joseph Barsabbas, was put forward to fill up the place in the apostleship left vacant by Judas Iscariot ( Acts 1:15-26 ). This election was held at Jerusalem, and the meeting was presided over by Peter.
