Head of the second course of priests, under David (1 Chronicles 24:7). Some "children of Jedaiah of the house of Jeshua, 973," returned from Babylon (Ezra 2:36; Nehemiah 7:39). These are thus distinguished from a second priestly "house" named "Jedaiah" (Nehemiah 12:6-7; Nehemiah 12:19; Nehemiah 12:21). Jehoiarib and Jedaiah represent two classes of the priesthood (1 Chronicles 9:10). It is a corrupt reading in Nehemiah 11:10 which makes Jedaiah son of Joiarib. Though Joiarib's was the first course, Jedaiah's, as having for their head Jeshua (he being high-priest under Zerubbabel), is named first.
