2. A priest of the family of Koz or Hakkoz, the same as Uriah, 3.

3. One of the priests who stood at Ezra's right hand, when he read the law to the people. Nehemiah 8:4. (B.C. 458).

4. The son of Shemaiah of Kirjathjearim. He prophesied in the days of Jehoiakim, B.C. 600, and the king sought to put him to death; but he escaped, and fled into Egypt.
