  • the son of Johanan, who was a high priest during the reign of Abijah and Asa
  • the son of Ahimaaz, the high priest who succeeded his grandfather Zadok in the days of Solomon and officiated over the consecration of the temple
  • a high priest in the reign of Uzziah, who was the king of Judah
  • a high priest during the time of Hezekiah
  • the name originally given to Abednego
  • a prophet who was the son of Oded during the time of Asa, and who led a national reformation.
