Subjects in this Topic:
JEHOIARIB (1Ch_9:10; 1Ch_24:7, elsewhere Joiarib; called in 1Ma_2:1 Joarib).—The name of one of the twenty-four courses of priests; first in David’s time (1Ch_24:7), but seventeenth in the time of Zerub. (Neh_12:6) and of the high priest Joiakim (Neh_12:19). The name is omitted, probably by accident, in the list of the priests that ‘sealed to the covenant’ (Neh_10:1-39). The clan is mentioned among those that dwelt in Jerusalem in the time of Nehemiah (Neh_11:10).
