2. The head of the seventh division of priests as arranged by David (1 Chronicles 24:10). B.C. 1014. He is probably the same whose descendants are mentioned as returning with Zerubbabel from Babylon, but as being excluded by Nehemiah from the priesthood on account of their defective pedigree (Ezra 2:61; Nehemiah 7:63). To this family appears to have belonged Urijah, whose son Meremoth is named as having repaired two portions of the wall of Jerusalem (Nehemiah 3:4; Nehemiah 3:21).
