JOZABAD

(Heb. yôzāḇāḏ)

1. A Benjaminite from Gederah who joined David at Ziklag (1 Chr. 12:4[MT 5]).

2.-3. Two men of Manasseh, chiefs of thousands, who joined David at Ziklag (1 Chr. 12:20[21]).

4. One of the overseers of the temple offerings appointed by Hezekiah during his temple reform (2 Chr. 31:13). The name here may represent the Chronicler’s anachronistic attempt to link Hezekiah’s reform with that of Ezra and Nehemiah (cf. Ezra 8:33).

5. A Levite who contributed animals to Josiah’s great Passover (2 Chr. 35:7; cf. 2 Kgs. 23:21-23).

6. A son of the priestly family of Passhur who lived in Judea and who divorced his foreign wife according to Ezra’s reform (Ezra 10:22; named Gedaliah in 1 Esdr. 9:22).

The following entries may refer to the same person or to as many as four different people.

7. A son of Jeshua the Levite; an overseer of the temple treasury (Ezra 8:33 = 1 Esdr. 8:69).

8. A Levite who divorced his foreign wife according to Ezra’s reform (Ezra 10:23 = 1 Esdr. 9:23).

9. One of the 13 Levites who “gave the sense” of Ezra’s reading of the law (Neh. 8:7-8). If this person served as an overseer of the “work outside the house of God” (Neh. 11:16), then he served under both Ezra and Nehemiah (cf. 1 Esdr. 9:48).

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
