   Jehovah-known. (1.) The father of Benaiah, who was one of
   David's chief warriors (2 Sam. 8:18; 20:23).
   
     (2.) The high priest at the time of Athaliah's usurpation of
   the throne of Judah. He married Jehosheba, or Jehoshabeath, the
   daughter of king Jehoram (2 Chr. 22:11), and took an active part
   along with his wife in the preservation and training of Jehoash
   when Athaliah slew all the royal family of Judah.
   
     The plans he adopted in replacing Jehoash on the throne of his
   ancestors are described in 2 Kings 11:2; 12:2; 2 Chr. 22:11;
   23:24. He was among the foremost of the benefactors of the
   kingdom, and at his death was buried in the city of David among
   the kings of Judah (2 Chr. 24:15, 16). He is said to have been
   one hundred and thirty years old.
