Pilha is mentioned in Neh.10.24 as one of the leaders of the people who signed the covenant during the time of Nehemiah. The covenant was a solemn agreement made by the returned exiles in Jerusalem, in which they pledged to follow the Law of God, given through Moses (Neh.10.29). The signatories included priests, Levites, and leaders of the people, demonstrating a collective commitment to obey God's commandments and to support the temple service.
