From Conservapedia
Abishua (Hebrew אֲבִישׁ֥וּעַ, father of plenty) (fl. 2603-2683 AM) was the fourth High Priest of Israel and an ancestor of Ezra. (1_Chronicles 6:4-5,50 , Ezra 7:1-5 )
Abishua is one of three high priests of the line of Eleazar who held the office between the death of Phinehas (2603 AM) and the investiture of Eli (2843 AM).[1] Each of these three men is estimated to have held the office for eighty years. Abishua held the high priesthood during the careers of Judges Othniel and Ehud.
