Jedaiah <ref name="term_36071" />

<p> Head of the second course of priests, under David (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 24:7). Some "children of [[Jedaiah]] of the house of Jeshua, 973," returned from [[Babylon]] (&nbsp;Ezra 2:36; &nbsp;Nehemiah 7:39). These are thus distinguished from a second priestly "house" named "Jedaiah" (&nbsp;Nehemiah 12:6-7; &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:19; &nbsp;Nehemiah 12:21). [[Jehoiarib]] and Jedaiah represent two classes of the priesthood (&nbsp;1 Chronicles 9:10). It is a corrupt reading in &nbsp;Nehemiah 11:10 which makes Jedaiah son of Joiarib. Though Joiarib's was the first course, Jedaiah's, as having for their head [[Jeshua]] (he being high-priest under Zerubbabel), is named first. </p>
