Description
Who was Jedaiah?
Jedaiah is mentioned in 1Ch.24.7 as the head of the second priestly division during the reign of King David. David organized the priests into twenty-four divisions to ensure a systematic and orderly approach to temple service. Jedaiah's division was the second to serve in the temple rotation. In Ezr.2.36 and Neh.7.39, the descendants of Jedaiah are listed among the priests who returned to Jerusalem from the Babylonian exile. This indicates that Jedaiah's family continued to serve as priests throughout the generations, even during the exile. The return of Jedaiah's descendants highlights the continuity of the priestly lineage and the importance of the temple service in the restoration of Jewish worship after the exile.
Relations
Direct connections
The kinship import reads the registry's own columns — parent, child, sibling, spouse — for every entity in it, and records none here. An extracted relation would be listed beside them, and none names this person either.
Not stated
No family is recorded for this person.
Places
Where this happens
A person is placed by the events they take part in, and an event has to clear three things to place them: it must say where it happened, that place must be one the gazetteer can put a coordinate on, and the verse must report it rather than foretell, command or ask it. Nothing anchored here clears all three. Where the text names a setting no gazetteer surveys — a vineyard, a palace, a plot of ground — it is left off rather than guessed at; where a place is named only in a prophecy, the map does not draw what was said to be coming as though it had happened; and a place reached only through a relation is not inherited, because standing beside somebody is not being somewhere.
No verse Atlas has read as a report puts this person anywhere.
