JOIARIB

1. One of the Jewish leaders whom Ezra sent to Iddo at Casiphia to gather Levites and temple servants for the caravan of Jews returning to Palestine from Babylon (Ezr 8:16). He is alternately called Jehoiarib in 1 Chronicles 9:10.

2. Zechariah’s son, the father of Adaiah, and an ancestor of a Judahite family that resettled in Jerusalem during the postexilic era under Nehemiah (Neh 11:5).

3. Father of Jedaiah, a priest who served in the temple during the days of Nehemiah (Neh 11:10). Perhaps Joiarib’s forefather was Jehoiarib, who was the head of the first course of priests ministering in the sanctuary during David’s reign (1 Chr 24:7; cf. 9:10).

4. One of the leaders of the priests who returned with Zerubbabel and Jeshua to Judah after the exile (Neh 12:6). His family in the next generation was headed by Mattenai (v 19).
