  • One of the priests who stood at the right hand of Ezra's pulpit when he read and expounded the law (Nehemiah 8:4 ).

  • A prophet of Kirjath-jearim in the reign of Jehoiakim, king of Judah (Jeremiah 26:20-23 ). He fled into Egypt from the cruelty of the king, but having been brought back he was beheaded and his body "cast into the graves of the common people."
