1. (Sept. Ι᾿ωαρίβ v.r. Ι᾿ωρίβ .) A priest named (Nehemiah 11:10) in connection with Jachin, and as father of Jedaiah (q.v.), but by some error; compare 1 Chronicles 9:10, where he is called JEHOIARIB (See JEHOIARIB) (q.v.), well known as founder of one of the sacerdotal "courses." (See PRIEST).

2. (Sept. Ι᾿ωιαρίβ .) A descendant of Judah, son of Zechariah and father of Adaiah (Nehemiah 11:5), apparently through Shelah. See SHILONI. B.C. considerably ante 536.

3. (Sept. Ι᾿ωιαρείβ, Ι᾿ωαρίβ .) One of the priests who returned from Babylon with Zerubbabel (Nehemiah 12:6). He was the father of Mattenai, a contemporary with the high priest Joiakim (Nehemiah 12:19). B.C. 536.

4. (Sept. Ι᾿ωαρείμ v.r. Ι᾿ωαρίμ .) A person mentioned in connection with Elnathan as a "man of understanding" (the others being called "chief men"), apparently among the priests, sent for by Ezra at the river of Ahava to devise means for obtaining a company of Levites to return with him to Jerusalem (Ezra 8:16). B.C. 459.
