<p> (Hebrew Elyashib', אֶלְיָשַׁיב, whom ''God Will Restore;'' Sept. Ε᾿λιασεβών, Ε᾿λιαβί, Ε᾿λιασείβ, Ελιασούβ, etc.; [[Josephus]] Ε᾿λιάσιβος; (Vulg. ''Eliasub, Eliasib'' ), a common name of Israelites, especially at the later period of the O.T. history. </p> <p> '''1.''' A priest in the time of king David; head of the eleventh "course" in the order of the "governors" (שָׂדִיס ) of the sanctuary (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 24:12). B.C. 1013. </p> <p> '''2.''' A [[Levitical]] singer who repudiated his [[Gentile]] wife after the exile (&nbsp;Ezra 10:24). B.C. 458. </p> <p> '''3.''' An Israelite of the lineage of Zattu, who did the same (&nbsp;Ezra 10:27). B.C. 458. </p> <p> '''4.''' An Israelite of the lineage of Bani, who did the same (&nbsp;Ezra 10:36). B.C. 458. </p> <p> '''5.''' The high-priest of the [[Jews]] in the time of Nehemiah (&nbsp;Nehemiah 12:28). B.C. 446. With the assistance of his fellow-priests, he rebuilt the eastern city wall adjoining the Temple (&nbsp;Nehemiah 3:1). His own extensive mansion was doubtless situated in the same vicinity, probably on the ridge Ophel (Nehemiah in, 20,21). (See Jerusalem). </p> <p> Eliashib was in some way allied (קָיוֹב =near) to Tobiah the Ammonite, for whom he had prepared an ante-room in the Temple, a desecration which excited the pious indignation of Nehemiah (&nbsp;Nehemiah 13:4; &nbsp;Nehemiah 13:7). One of the grandsons of Eliashib had also married the daughter of [[Sanballat]] the Horonite (&nbsp;Nehemiah 13:28). There seems no reason to doubt that the same Eliashib is referred to in &nbsp;Ezra 10:6, as the father of Johanan, who occupied an apartment in the Temple (comp. Josephus, Ant. 11:5, 4). He is evidently the same with the son of [[Joiakim]] and father of Joiada (Josephus, "Judas," Ant. 11:7, 1), in the succession of high-priests (&nbsp;Nehemiah 12:10; &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:22). (See [[High-Priest]]). </p> <p> '''6.''' A son of Elioenai, and member of the latest family of the lineage of Zerubbabel, mentioned in the Old Test. (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 3:24). B.C. 406. </p>

He, with his brethren the priests, helped in the rebuilding of the wall (&nbsp;Nehemiah 3:1 ). But later he was "allied unto Tobiah" the Ammonite (&nbsp;Nehemiah 13:4 ) and allowed that enemy of Nehemiah the use of a great chamber in the temple (&nbsp;Nehemiah 13:5 ); and one of his grandsons, a son of Joiada, married a daughter of Sanballat the Horonite and was for this expelled from the community by Nehemiah (&nbsp;Nehemiah 13:28 ). See Sanballat . </p> <p> (4, 5, 6) three Israelites, one a "singer," who had married foreign wives (&nbsp;Ezra 10:24 , &nbsp;Ezra 10:27 , &nbsp;Ezra 10:36 ). </p> <p> (7) Father of [[Jehohanan]] (&nbsp;Ezra 10:6 ); probably identical with (3) above.
