Subjects in this Topic:
JAHZEIAH.—One of four men who are mentioned as opposing (so RV [Note: Revised Version.] ) Ezra in the matter of the foreign wives (Ezr_10:15). The AV [Note: Authorized Version.] regarded Jahzeiah and his companions as supporters of Ezra, rendering ‘were employed about this matter.’ This view is supported by LXX [Note: Septuagint.] , 1Es_9:14 RVm [Note: Revised Version margin.] ; but the Heb. phrase here found elsewhere (cf. 1Ch_21:1, 2Ch_20:23, Dan_11:14) expresses opposition.
