<p> (Heb. Yehotsadak', '''''יְהוֹצָדָק''''' , ''Jehovah Justified;'' Sept. '''''Ι᾿Ωσεδέκ''''' ; Auth. Vers. "Josedech" in Haggai and Zechariah), also in the contracted form JOZADAK ( '''''יוֹצָדָק''''' , ''Yotsadak'' ', in Ezra and Nehemiah; Sept. '''''Ι᾿Ωσεδἐκ''''' ), the son of the high priest Seraiah at the time of the [[Babylonian]] captivity (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:14-15). Although he succeeded to the high priesthood after the slaughter of his father at [[Riblah]] (&nbsp;2 Kings 25:18-21), he had no opportunity of performing the functions of his office (Selden, De success. in Pont. in Opp. 2, 104). He was carried into captivity by Neduchadnezzar (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 6:15), and evidently died in exile, as, on the return from the captivity, his son Joshua was the first high priest who officiated (&nbsp;Haggai 1:1; &nbsp;Haggai 1:12; &nbsp;Haggai 1:14; &nbsp;Haggai 2:2; &nbsp;Haggai 2:4; &nbsp;Zechariah 6:11; &nbsp;Ezra 3:2; &nbsp;Ezra 3:8; &nbsp;Ezra 5:2; &nbsp;Ezra 10:18; &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:26). B.C. 588. (See [[High Priest]]). </p>

He was the father of Joshua (Jeshua) the priest (&nbsp; Haggai 1:1 , &nbsp;Haggai 1:12 , &nbsp;Haggai 1:14; &nbsp;Haggai 2:2 , &nbsp;Haggai 2:4; &nbsp;Zechariah 6:11 ). the King James Version has Josedech in Hag and Zec.
