 Jehoiada
    Jehovah-known. (1.) The father of Benaiah, who was one of
    David's chief warriors (2 Sam. 8:18; 20:23).
      (2.) The high priest at the time of Athaliah's usurpation of
    the throne of Judah. He married Jehosheba, or Jehoshabeath, the
    daughter of king Jehoram (2 Chr. 22:11), and took an active part
    along with his wife in the preservation and training of Jehoash
    when Athaliah slew all the royal family of Judah.
      The plans he adopted in replacing Jehoash on the throne of his
    ancestors are described in 2 Kings 11:2; 12:2; 2 Chr. 22:11;
    23:24. He was among the foremost of the benefactors of the
    kingdom, and at his death was buried in the city of David among
    the kings of Judah (2 Chr. 24:15, 16). He is said to have been
    one hundred and thirty years old.
