Jehoiada

[ ji-hoi-uh-duh ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

From Hebrew Yəhōyādhāʿ “Yahweh knows”

In this the priest Jehoiada (who must have continued to act as regent) took the leading part.

King Joash did what was right so long as the high priest Jehoiada lived, but after the latter's death this had an end.

Even the high priest, Jehoiada, who was connected with the royal house, kept silence.

As the prince was now secure from all attacks, Jehoiada also permitted the populace to enter the Temple courts.

Was he not of the same disposition as the high priest Jehoiada, and had they not both the same end in view?
