Jeshua
The name Jeshua is a variant of Joshua, meaning "The LORD is salvation" in Hebrew. Jeshua was a high priest who returned with Zerubbabel from the Babylonian exile. His leadership was crucial in the rebuilding of the temple, symbolizing a new beginning for the Israelites. This name reminds us of God's faithfulness in restoring His people and His continuous work of salvation throughout history.

was the father of Joiakim
The phrase "was the father of" indicates a genealogical record, emphasizing the importance of lineage in Jewish culture. Joiakim, meaning "The LORD raises up," succeeded Jeshua as high priest. This transition signifies the continuity of spiritual leadership and the preservation of religious practices among the Israelites. It highlights God's providence in maintaining a faithful priesthood to guide His people.

Joiakim
Joiakim's role as high priest during the time of Nehemiah was significant in the reestablishment of the Jewish community in Jerusalem. His name, meaning "The LORD raises up," reflects the divine appointment and empowerment necessary for leadership. Joiakim's tenure would have involved overseeing the temple services and ensuring adherence to the Law, reinforcing the spiritual renewal of the nation.

was the father of Eliashib
This phrase continues the genealogical line, showing the hereditary nature of the high priesthood. Eliashib, meaning "God restores," served as high priest during Nehemiah's governorship. His leadership was pivotal during the rebuilding of Jerusalem's walls, symbolizing God's restorative work in the physical and spiritual realms. Eliashib's role underscores the importance of godly leadership in times of reconstruction and renewal.

Eliashib
Eliashib's tenure as high priest is marked by both achievements and challenges. While he played a role in the restoration efforts, he also faced criticism for alliances that compromised the community's purity. His name, "God restores," serves as a reminder of God's ongoing work to restore His people, even amidst human failings. Eliashib's account encourages believers to remain steadfast in their commitment to God's standards.

was the father of Joiada
The continuation of the priestly line through Joiada, meaning "The LORD knows," highlights the enduring nature of God's covenant with Israel. Joiada's leadership would have been crucial in maintaining the religious reforms initiated by Nehemiah. This phrase emphasizes the importance of generational faithfulness and the transmission of spiritual values from one generation to the next.

Joiada
Joiada's name, meaning "The LORD knows," reflects the divine wisdom and oversight necessary for effective leadership. As a high priest, Joiada would have been responsible for guiding the people in worship and adherence to the Law. His role underscores the need for leaders who are attuned to God's will and committed to upholding His truth. Joiada's inclusion in this genealogy serves as a testament to God's faithfulness in providing spiritual shepherds for His people.

(10, 11) Pedigree of certain high priests, with supplement from a later hand. The six generations stretch over 200 years--from B.C. 536 to B.C. 332.

Verse 10. - Jeshua. The "Jeshua" of ver. 1, not of ver. 8 - the high priest of Zerub-babel's time (Ezra 3:2, 8; Ezra 4:3; Ezra 5:2, etc.). Begat Joiakim. The high priesthood of Joiakim falls into the interval between the first part (chs. 1-7.) and the second part (chs. 7-10.) of Ezra. He is only mentioned in this chapter (vers. 12, 26). Eliashib is first mentioned in Ezra 10:6, but he does not appear as high priest until after Nehemiah reaches Jerusalem (Nehemiah 3:1). On his close connection with Tobiah see Nehemiah 13:4, 5, 28. Joiada is called Judas by Josephus ('Ant. Jud.,' 11:7, § 1). His term of office lasted, according to Syncellus and the Paschal Chronicle, thirty-six years.
