JEDAIAH

1. Shimri’s son and the father of Allon. He is listed in the genealogical tables of the Simeonites who settled in the valley of Gedor in Hezekiah’s time (1 Chr 4:37).

2. Harumaph’s son, who helped repair the Jerusalem wall after the exile (Neh 3:10).

3. Aaron’s descendant and head of the second of the 24 priestly divisions for temple service in David’s time (1 Chr 24:7). His descendants are listed among the returned exiles (1 Chr 9:10; Ezr 2:36; Neh 7:39). The individuals and families listed below are probably a part of this priestly line, but their exact relationships are difficult to determine.

4. Provincial priest who agreed to resettle in postexilic Jerusalem (Neh 11:10; cf. v 2).

5. Priest who returned with Zerubbabel after the exile (Neh 12:6-7). In the next generation this was the name of a family (v 21).

6. One of the exiles taken by Zechariah as witness to the symbolic crowning of Joshua (NLT “Jeshua”). He may be the same as #4 or #5 above. He came back from captivity bringing gifts for the temple in the days of the high priest Joshua (Zec 6:10-14).
