Jaddua

Jaddua was a son of Johanan and a high priest during the post-exilic period. However, according to Nehemiah 12:22 it is possible that a transcribing error has occurred in the rendering of Jaddua's father's name. A more likely translation is that Jaddua's father was Johanan.. Reference to Jaddua may be found in Nehemiah verses 12:11, 22. When reading Josephus' accounts of Jaddua's priestly position, it is unclear whether or not Jaddua was the sole high priest or if he shared the office with Manasseh. The other possibility is that Manasseh was Jaddua's assistant or sagan..
