Nehemiah 12:11  (King James Version)
And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.
 


Jonathan
Jaddua is supposed to be Jaddus the high priest, who went in his pontifical robes to meet Alexander the Great, when advancing to destroy Jerusalem; who was so struck with his appearance, that he forbore all hostilities, and granted many privileges to the Jews. According to Eusebius, he was high priest from A
M. 3665 to 3982.
