Jehoz'adak. (Jehovah justifies). Usually called Jozadak or Josedech. He was the son of the high priest, Seraiah. 1 Chronicles 6:14-15. When his father was slain at Riblah, by order of Nebuchadnezzar, 2 Kings 25:18; 2 Kings 25:21, Jehozadak was led away captive to Babylon. 1 Chronicles 6:15. (B.C. 588).
