Concise Bible Dictionary:
1. Son of Jabesh: he slew Zachariah king of Israel, and reigned in his stead; but after one month he was killed by Menahem, who succeeded him on the throne (2 Kings 15:10-15).
2. Husband of Huldah the prophetess (2 Kings 22:14; 2 Chron. 34:22).
3. Son of Sisamai, a descendant of Judah (1 Chron. 2:40-41).
4. Son of Josiah king of Judah: he succeeded his father, but after a reign of three months he was deposed by Pharaoh-necho, and taken to Egypt, where he died (1 Chron. 3:15; Jer. 22:11-12). He is called JEHOAHAZ in 2 Kings 23:30-34 and 2 Chronicles 36:1-4. The margin of 1 Chronicles 3:15 identifies Johanan with Jehoahaz, but Jeremiah 22:11-12 shows it was Shallum who reigned under the name of Jehoahaz. He was evidently not the youngest son, though last on the list.
5. Son of Shaul, a son of Simeon (1 Chron. 4:25).
6. Son of Zadok the priest (1 Chron. 6:12-13; Ezra 7:2). Probably the same as MESHULLAM in Nehemiah 11:11.
7. Son of Naphtali (1 Chron. 7:13). Called SHILLEM (Gen. 46:24; Num. 26:49).
8. A Levite gate-keeper of the tabernacle whose descendants returned from exile (1 Chron. 9:17; Ezra 2:42; Neh. 7:45).
9. Son of Kore: a keeper of the gates of the tabernacle (1 Chron. 9:19, 31).
10. Father of Jehizkiah, one of the “heads” of Ephraim (2 Chron. 28:12).
11-12. Two who had married strange wives (Ezra 10:24, 42).
13. Son of Halohesh: he repaired the wall of Jerusalem, apparently assisted by his daughters (Neh. 3:12).
14. Father of Hanameel and uncle of Jeremiah (Jer. 32:7).
15. Father of Maaseiah (Jer. 35:4).
