Old Testament
Jehoiarib
A descendant of Aaron and the head of the first priestly division established by King David.
Jehoiarib was a priest during the reign of King David, serving as the leader of the first of twenty-four priestly courses organized for temple service. His significance lies in the establishment of this order, which defined the rotation of priestly duties in the house of the Lord. The name also appears in later genealogical records, notably associated with the family of the Maccabees.
