whom God will restore. (1.) A priest, head of one of the courses of the priests of the time of David (1Ch 24:12).

(2.) A high priest in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah (Neh 12:22,23). He rebuilt the eastern city wall (3:1), his own mansion being in that quarter, on the ridge Ophel (3:20,21). His indulgence of Tobiah the Ammonite provoked the indignation of Nehemiah (Neh 13:4,7).
