Heldai

Fausset's Bible Dictionary

1. 1 Chronicles 27:15.

2. A Jew from Babylon, from whom and Tobijah and Jedaiah the gold and silver which they presented toward building the temple were to be taken, and crowns made for Joshua's head, afterward to be deposited in the temple as a memorial of the donors (as Cornelius' prayers and ahns of faith "came up for a memorial before God," Acts 10:4), until Messiah should come. Heldai means "robust"; called also Helem (Zechariah 6:10; Zechariah 6:14).
