The son of the high priest Seraiah at the time of the Babylonian exile. He was the priest at the time of the captivity under Nebuchadrezzar (1 Chronicles 6:14, 1 Chronicles 6:15 (Hebrew 5:40, 41)).

Same as “Jozadak” (יוצדק, yōcādhāḳ, same meaning) in Ezra 3:2, Ezra 3:8; Ezra 5:2; Ezra 10:18; Nehemiah 12:26; and = “Josedek” (King James Version “Josedec”) of 1 Esdras 5:5, 48, 56; 6:2; 9:19; Sirach 49:12.
