e-li'-a-shib ('elyashibh, "God restores"):
(1) A descendant of David (1 Ch 3:24).
(2) Head of the eleventh course of priests (1 Ch 24:12).
(3) The high priest in the time of Nehemiah. He, with his
brethren the priests, helped in the rebuilding of the wall

(Neh 13:4) and allowed that enemy of Nehemiah the use of a
great chamber in the temple (Neh 13:5); and one of his
grandsons, a son of Joiada, married a daughter of Sanballat
the Horonite and was for this expelled from the community by
Nehemiah (Neh 13:28).
See SANBALLAT.
(4, 5, 6) Three Israelites, one a "singer," who had married
foreign wives (Ezr 10:24,27,36).
(7) Father of Jehohanan (Ezr 10:6); probably identical with
(3) above. Called Eliasib in 1 Esdras 9:1.
