JEHOHANAN

(Heb. yĕhôḥānān)

1. A Korahite Levite gatekeeper of the temple (1 Chr. 26:3).

2. One of three Judahite “commanders of thousands” in King Jehoshaphat’s army (2 Chr. 17:15).

3. The father of Ishmael, “commander of a hundred” who joined Jehoiada’s coup against Queen Athaliah (2 Chr. 23:1).

4. The son (or descendant?) of Eliashib to whose chamber Ezra retreated for fasting (Ezra 10:6; 1 Esdr. 9:1). If this individual can be identified with the Johanan of Neh. 12:22-23 (apparently the grandson of Eliashib, the high priest of Nehemiah’s time; cf. vv. 10-11; 3:1), his relationship with Ezra is important in the Ezra-Nehemiah chronology.

5. The son of Bebai; one of the Israelites who divorced their foreign wives (Ezra 10:28; 1 Esdr. 9:29).

6. The son of Tobiah the Ammonite, who opposed Nehemiah’s rebuilding project (Neh. 6:18). He also married the daughter of Meshullam, who helped repair the walls of Jerusalem under Nehemiah (Neh. 3:4, 30).

7. A head of the priestly house of Amariah during the time of the high priest Joiakim (Neh. 12:13).

8. One of the priests officiating at the dedication ceremony of the walls that were rebuilt under Nehemiah’s administration (Neh. 12:42).
