1. (Sept. Ι᾿ωειδά v.r. Ι᾿ωιδά, Vulg. Jojada, A. Vers. "Jehoiada.") Son of Paseah, and apparently one of the chief priests; in conjunction with Meshullam he repaired the Old Gate, (See JERUSALEM), with its appurtenances, after the captivity (Nehemiah 3:6). B.C. 446.
2. (Sept. Ι᾿ωαδά v.r. Ι᾿ωιαδά, Ι᾿ωδαέ .) Son and successor of Eliashib in the high priesthood, himself succeeded by his son Jonathan (Nehemiah 12:10-11; Nehemiah 12:22); another of his sons having married a daughter of Sanballat, on which account he was banished (Nehemiah 13:28). B.C. post 446. Josephus (Ant. 11, 7, 1) Graecizes the name as Judas (Ι᾿ούδας ). (See HIGH PRIEST).
