<p> <strong> HELDAI. 1. </strong> The captain of the military guard appointed for the twelfth monthly course of the [[Temple]] service (&nbsp; 1 Chronicles 27:15 ). He is probably to be identified with ‘ <strong> [[Heleb]] </strong> the son of [[Baanah]] the Netophathite,’ one of David’s thirty heroes (&nbsp; 2 Samuel 23:29 ). In the parallel list (&nbsp; 1 Chronicles 11:30 ) the name is more correctly given as <strong> [[Heled]] </strong> . The form <em> [[Heldai]] </em> is supported by &nbsp; Zechariah 6:10 , and should probably be restored in the other two passages. <strong> 2. </strong> According to &nbsp; Zechariah 6:10 , one of a small band who brought gifts of gold and silver from [[Babylon]] to those of the exiles who had returned under Zerubbabel. From these gifts Zechariah was told to make a crown for Joshua the high priest, which was to be placed in the Temple as a memorial of Heldai and his companions. In v. 14 <strong> [[Helem]] </strong> is clearly an error for Heldai. </p>

<p> '''1.''' &nbsp;1 Chronicles 27:15. </p> <p> '''2.''' A Jew from Babylon, from whom and [[Tobijah]] and [[Jedaiah]] the gold and silver which they presented toward building the temple were to be taken, and crowns made for Joshua's head, afterward to be deposited in the temple as a memorial of the donors (as Cornelius' prayers and ahns of faith "came up for a memorial before God," &nbsp;Acts 10:4), until [[Messiah]] should come. Heldai means "robust"; called also Helem (&nbsp;Zechariah 6:10; &nbsp;Zechariah 6:14). </p>

One of those lately returned from the [[Captivity]] whom the prophet Zechariah was directed to take with him when he went to crown the high- priest Joshua, as a symbol of the future Messiah's advent (&nbsp;Zechariah 6:10).
