Eliashib the High Priest is mentioned in Book of Nehemiah Nehemiah 12 10,22 and 3 1, 20 21,13 28 and possibly the Book of Ezra 10 6 of the Hebrew Bible . Some also place him in different parts of Nehemiah including 12 23 and 13 4,7, but this is disputed. Nehemiah 3 20 21 places his home between the area of two working groups constructing the walls of Jerusalem on the north side of the city. He helped with the refortification of this wall Neh 3 1 . The size of his house indicated his wealth and high socio economic status Neh 3 23 21 . This places him as someone who lived during the time of Nehemiah, and as a result, probably Ezra also. In the year 445 BCE, Eliashib was the high priest when Nehemiah returned to Jerusalem in the 20th year of Artaxerxes I Nehemiah 1 1, 2 1 . ref VanderKam, From Joshua to Caiaphas The High Priests of the Persian Period ref Josephus puts Eliashib as a contemporary of Ezra during the reign of Xerxes I of Persia Xerxes , in Ant. 11.5,6 8. He also dates his reign as high priest through the reign of Cyrus, also called by the Greeks, Artaxerxes. This is the Artaxerxes depicted in the Book of Esther . Josephus outlines this story in Antiq.11 185 Antiq 11 297. The last quotation of this story states, When Eliasib the high priest was dead, his son Judas succeeded in the high priesthood. Antiq 11 297 Eliashib s grandson was married to the daughter of Sanballat the Horonite Neh 13 28 , and while Nehemiah was absent in Babylon Eliashib had leased the storerooms of the temple to Sanballat s associate Tobiah the Ammonite , thereby depriving the Levites of their rations. When Nehemiah returned he threw Tobiah s furniture out of the temple and drove out Eliashib s grandson Neh 13 4 9 . This may be the political background to the allegorical vision of Satan, the Angel of the Lord and Eliashib s possibly deceased grandfather Joshua the High Priest in Zechariah 3.

Wikify date May 2010 Joiada , Heb. Yoyada, , which means Yahu knows, is a name found from the form Jehoiada in the Old Testament and used alternately in English versions Neh 13 28 Neh 3 6 KJV . The Jeshanah Gate was repaired by Joiada son of Paseah and Meshullam son of Besodeiah. They laid its beams and put its doors with their bolts and bars in place Neh 3 6, NIV . Joiada is the fourth Kohen Gadol high priest after the Babylonian Exile and his name is only found in the lists of Neh 12 10 11, 22 and in Neh 13 28. Most historians describe Joiada as the son of Eliashib, ca. 433 410 BCE. However, there are two existing problems with the chronologies. First, it is believed that Joiada may be the grandson of Eliashib. The word son may refer to a father son relationship, but alternatively refers to a grandson or brother. However, it is suggested that Ezra 2 43 & Neh 12 23 are related and may be referring to another Eliashib and Johanan because they were common names at that time. The second problem involves the time span of the list given because some believe the list Eliashib to Joiada to Jonathan to Jaddua was a time span of 150 years. It is also possible that not all of the names of the high priests are included. The only information given about Joiada is that his son married the daughter of Sanballat the Horonite for which he was driven out of the Temple by Nehemiah Neh 13 28 . This is interesting because the books of Ezra and Nehemiah contain severe instructions against marrying foreign women. These foreign marriages led to tension between the Jewish governor and the high priestly family. The son of Joiada was removed from the temple by Nehemiah and banished from Judah, however nothing suggests that Joiada s family received further punishment. Sources Williamson, H.G.M. 1977.

Life Joshua son of Josedech served as Kohen Gadol High Priest ca.515 490 BCE in the common List of High Priests of Israel .

Later bibleverse nb Ezra 10 18 HE some of the his sons and nephews are found guilty of intermarriage. Facts concerning the later part of Joshua s life are in part dependent upon whether Joshua was still alive at the time of his appearance in a vision by Zechariah. If the vision relates to Nehemiah s cleansing of the temple in Neh.13 28 then the engagement of Joshua s great great grandson to the daughter of Sanballat the Horonite would place Joshua in his late 90s if he were still alive. ref Carol L.
