(Heb. Yehotsadak', יְהוֹצָדָק, Jehovah justified; Sept. Ι᾿ωσεδέκ; Auth. Vers. "Josedech" in Haggai and Zechariah), also in the contracted form JOZADAK (יוֹצָדָק, Yotsadak', in Ezra and Nehemiah; Sept. Ι᾿ωσεδἐκ ), the son of the high priest Seraiah at the time of the Babylonian captivity (1 Chronicles 6:14-15). Although he succeeded to the high priesthood after the slaughter of his father at Riblah (2 Kings 25:18-21), he had no opportunity of performing the functions of his office (Selden, De success. in Pont. in Opp. 2, 104). He was carried into captivity by Neduchadnezzar (1 Chronicles 6:15), and evidently died in exile, as, on the return from the captivity, his son Joshua was the first high priest who officiated (Haggai 1:1; Haggai 1:12; Haggai 1:14; Haggai 2:2; Haggai 2:4; Zechariah 6:11; Ezra 3:2; Ezra 3:8; Ezra 5:2; Ezra 10:18; Nehemiah 12:26). B.C. 588. (See HIGH PRIEST).
