Jozabad

(Jehovah justifies).

• A captain of the thousands of Manasseh, who deserted to David before the battle of Gilboa. (1 Chronicles 12:20) (B.C. 1053.)
• A hero of Manasseh, like the preceding. (1 Chronicles 12:20)
• A Levite in the reign of Hezekiah. (2 Chronicles 31:13) (B.C. 726.)
• A chief Levite in the reign of Josiah. (2 Chronicles 35:9)
• A Levite, son of Jeshua, in the days of Ezra. (Ezra 8:33) (B.C. 459.) Probably identical with No. 7.
• A priest of the sons of Pashur, who had married a foreign wife. (Ezra 10:22)
• A Levite among those who returned with Ezra and had married foreign wives. He is probably identical with Jozabad the Levite, (Nehemiah 8:7) and with Jozabad who presided over the outer work of the temple. (Nehemiah 11:16) (B.C. 459.)
