23-765: The name is ancient, recorded as the name of Johanan , high priest of the Second Temple around 400 BCE. The Hebrew name was adopted as Ἰωάννης ( Iōánnēs ) in Biblical Greek as the name of both John the Baptist and John the Apostle . In the Latin Vulgate this was originally adopted as Iohannes (or Johannes – in Latin, J is the same letter as I ). The presence of an h , not found in

46-515: Is a request for the rebuilding of the temple to Yahweh at Elephantine; Egyptians had destroyed the previous one. "We have also sent a letter before now, when this evil was done to us, to our lord and to the high priest Johanan and his colleagues, the priests in Jerusalem and to Ostanes, the brother of Anani and the nobles of the Jews, Never a letter have they sent to us." It has been suggested that

69-408: Is a rework of 2 Samuel 5:5 . The move from Hebron to Jerusalem is not explained, assuming the readers' knowledge of the narratives in the earlier materials. This section shares the same materials as 2 Samuel 5:14-16 (also in 1 Chronicles 14:4–7), and verse 9 from 2 Samuel 5:13; 13:1. The kings of Judah are listed here from Solomon up to the period of exile, following a monotonous formula—"his son

92-556: Is called Pedaiah, and not Shealtiel, as in Ezra 3 :2, 8. Two sons of Jehoiakim are listed here: "Jeconiah" (also called "Jehoiachin" in 2 Kings 24 :6–17; 2 Chronicles 36 :8–9, and "Coniah" in Jeremiah 22:24 ) and "Zedekiah", which confirmed in 2 Chronicles 36 :10 as the brother of Jeconiah. 2 Kings 24:17 states that king Zedekiah (the last king of Judah who replaced Jeconiah) was Jeconiah's uncle. Jeremiah consistently called Jehoiakim

115-485: Is usually attributed to a second high priest called Johanan, who is not mentioned in the Bible. Thus, the coin seems to lend support to the hypothesis by Frank Moore Cross from 1975 that there were two subsequent father/son pairs of high priests called Johanan and Jaddua, the latter pair of which was accidentally omitted from the biblical text because of haplography . However, Lisbeth Fried has challenged this late dating of

138-615: The Anani that is referred to here might be the same as in 1 Chronicles 3 :24. On a silver coin from the late Achaemenid Empire, Dan Barag and other scholars have identified the Hebrew phrase יחנן הכהן ‎ (" Yoḥānān the priest "). This coin is a part of the Yehud coinage . Because it is generally dated between 350 BCE and Alexander the Great 's conquest of Persia around 333 BCE, the coin

161-656: The First Book of Chronicles in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible . The book is compiled from older sources by an unknown person or group, designated by modern scholars as "the Chronicler", and had the final shape established in late fifth or 4th century BCE. This chapter contains the genealogy of unbroken Davidic line from the time of David to the post-exilic period, providing a possibility of

184-769: The Greek adaptation, shows awareness of the Hebrew origin. Later editions of the Vulgate, such as the Clementine Vulgate, have Ioannes , however. The anglicized form John makes its appearance in Middle English , from the mid-12th century, as a direct adaptation from Medieval Latin Johannes , the Old French being Jean . The feminine form Joanna is also biblical, recorded in the form Ἰωάννα as

207-614: The Hebrew (as in Jeremiah 40:8). Johanan (High Priest) Johanan ( Hebrew : יוֹחָנָן , romanized :  Yoḥānān ), son of Joiada , was the fifth High Priest of the Temple in Jerusalem after it was rebuilt after the end of the Babylonian captivity . His reign is estimated to have been from c. 410–371 BCE; he was succeeded by his son Jaddua . The Hebrew Bible gives no details about his life. Johanan lived in

230-489: The Septuagint version include Codex Vaticanus ( B ; G {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {G}}} ; 4th century) and Codex Alexandrinus ( A ; G {\displaystyle {\mathfrak {G}}} ; 5th century). The whole chapter belongs to an arrangement comprising 1 Chronicles 2:3–8:40 with the king-producing tribes of Judah (David; 2:3–4:43) and Benjamin (Saul; 8:1–40) bracketing

253-573: The coin and has suggested a date between 378 and 368 BCE. She believes that the coin refers to the same individual as the one mentioned in Josephus and Nehemiah, and that it is unnecessary to propose a second Johanan. According to the research published in 2023, the Johanan coin (Yehud coin Type 25) belongs to the "Series with facing head/owl" Types 24 to 28 (YHD-24 to YHD-28). Thus, this coin comes in

276-463: The descendants of Judah: chapter 2 deals with the tribes of Judah in general, chapter 3 lists the sons of David in particular and chapter 4 concerns the remaining families in the tribe of Judah and the tribe of Simeon. These chapters belong to the section focusing on the list of genealogies from Adam to the lists of the people returning from exile in Babylon ( 1 Chronicles 1:1 to 9:34). This chapter

299-560: The middle of the coinage belonging to the Macedonian period. There is dispute over his actual name. Neh 12:11 lists him as Jonathan, while 12:22 mentions Joiada's successor as Johanan. Josephus also lists him as Johanan (John). According to the Anchor Bible Dictionary there is also a dispute regarding the genealogy of Johanan. Neh 12:10–11 lists Johanan as the grandson of Eliashib while Neh 12:23 identifies him as

322-749: The name of Joanna, wife of Chuza . The form Johanan , even closer to the Hebrew original than Latin Johannes , is customarily used in English-language translations of the Hebrew Bible (as opposed to John being used in English translations of the New Testament), in a tradition going back to Wycliffe's Bible , which uses John when translating from the Greek (e.g. of John the Baptist in Mark 1:4), but Johannan when translating from

345-530: The province of Yehud Medinata in the Achaemenid Empire during the reigns of emperors Darius II (423–405 or 404 BCE) and his son Artaxerxes II (404–358 BCE). Josephus records that Johanan's brother Joshua was promised the high priesthood by Bagoas , general of Artaxerxes. Joshua got into a quarrel with Johanan in the temple , and Johanan killed him. Bagoas knew that Johanan had slain Joshua in

368-530: The reinstatement of the Davidic monarchy in Jerusalem with its rightful heir, should circumstances allow. It is divided into three parts: (1) the sons of David (born in Hebron, verses 1–4; born in Jerusalem, verses 5–9); (2) the kings in Jerusalem (apart from the usurper Queen Athaliah, verses 10–16); (3) the descendants during and after the exile period, verses 17–24. Together with chapters 2 and 4, it focuses on

391-488: The series of lists as the priestly tribe of Levi (6:1–81) anchors the center, in the following order: Another concentric arrangement focuses on David's royal tribe of Judah (2:3–4:23), centering on the family of Hezron, Judah's grandson, through his three sons: Jerahmeel, Ram, and Chelubai (Caleb), as follows: The house of David is the main focus within the large genealogy of Judah. This section shares almost word for word materials with 2 Samuel 3:2–5. Verse 4 apparently

414-510: The son of Eliashib. "Although it is possible that Heb ben is to be translated as 'grandson' in Neh 12:23; cf. NEB, JB)" There is yet to be extrabiblical proof that a man named Jonathan ever served as high priest. This has led many to believe that the biblical text has a copy mistake. 1 Chronicles 3 1 Chronicles 3 is the third chapter of the Books of Chronicles in the Hebrew Bible or

437-455: The son of Josiah and never called Zedekiah as the son of Josiah, leading to the assumption that Zedekiah in the book of Jeremiah refers to the brother of Jeconiah. This section lists the descendants of David – in particular, the posterity of Jeconiah – during the exile and into the early part of post-exilic period. Jeconiah was taken away to Babylon in 597 BCE and among his seven sons, Shenazzar (called Shenazzar in Ezra 1:8–11 ; both names are

460-500: The temple, saying to him, "Have you had the impudence to perpetrate murder in the temple." Bagoas was forbidden to enter the temple, but he entered anyway saying "Am not I purer than he that was slain in the temple?" Bagoas had not seen such a savage crime and responded by commanding the Persians to punish the Jews for seven years. His son Jaddua eventually took over the position when Johanan died, as briefly mentioned by Josephus, but

483-455: Was X"—until Josiah, who had several sons succeeding him, so that the Chronicler changes the listing method. The sources could be 2 Kings 22 – 24 and Book of Jeremiah (which uses Shallum, the alternative name of Joahaz, in Jeremiah 22:11 ). Parts of the list are repeated in 1 Chronicles 14 :4–7, whereas in other parts some kings have different names from the rest of Chronicles (for examples, Azariah instead of Uzziah), and Zerubbabel's father

506-618: Was not accepted in the book of chronicles according to Nehemiah 12:23. Among the Elephantine papyri and ostraca , a collection of 5th century BCE manuscripts from the Jewish community at Elephantine in Achaemenid Egypt , a letter was found in which Johanan is mentioned. The letter is dated "the 20th of Marshewan , year 17 of king Darius", which corresponds to 407 BCE. It is addressed to Bagoas, governor of Yehuda Medinata, and

529-653: Was originally written in the Hebrew language . It is divided into 24 verses. Some early manuscripts containing the text of this chapter in Hebrew are of the Masoretic Text tradition, which includes the Aleppo Codex (10th century), and Codex Leningradensis (1008). There is also a translation into Koine Greek known as the Septuagint , made in the last few centuries BCE. Extant ancient manuscripts of
