    Mera'ioth. (Rebellious).

    1, A descendant of Eleazar, the son of Aaron, and head of a priestly house.  1 Chronicles 6:61;  1 Chronicles 7:62. It is apparently another Meraioth, who comes in between Zadok and Ahitub, in the genealogy of Azariah.  1 Chronicles 9:11;  Nehemiah 11:11.

    2. The head of one of the houses of priests, which in the time of Joiakim, the son of Jeshu, a was represented by Helkai.  Nehemiah 12:15.

    Fausset's Bible Dictionary [4]

    1. Sprung from Eleazar, Aaron's son; ancestor of Zadok and Ezra ( 1 Chronicles 6:6). Lightfoot (Temple Serv. 4:1) thought that he was next before Eli, and that at his death the high priesthood passed from Eleazar's to Ithamar's line. Meraioth and Ahitub are perhaps transposed in Azariah's genealogy ( 1 Chronicles 9:11;  Nehemiah 11:11).

    2.  Nehemiah 12:15; MEREMOTH in  Nehemiah 12:3.

    Morrish Bible Dictionary [5]

    (Hebrews Merayoth', מְרָיוֹת, Rebellions ; Sept. Μεραιώθ, Μεραώθ, and Μαριώθ v. r. Μαριήλ ), the name of one or more leading priests.

    1. The son of Zerahiah and father of Amariah, a high-priest of the line of Eleazar ( 1 Chronicles 6:6-7;  1 Chronicles 6:52;  Ezra 7:3). BC. considerably ante 1062. It was thought by Lightfoot that he was the immediate predecessor of Eli in the office of high-priest, and that at his death the high-priesthood changed from the line of Eleazar to the line of Ithamar (Temple Service, iv, § 1). In  1 Chronicles 9:11;  Nehemiah 11:11, his name appears to have become transposed between those of Zadok and Ahitub, instead of its proper place after the latter, as may be seen from  1 Chronicles 6:6-12. (See High-Priest).

    2. A chief priest whose son Helkai was contemporary with the high-priest Joiakim ( Nehemiah 12:15); doubtless identical with the MEREMOTH of  Nehemiah 12:3.
