Jaddua
1. Successor of Jonathan or Johanan in the high priesthood. The last high priest and the latest name in Old Testament, supposing 1Ch 3:22-24 corrupt. In the reign of the last Persian king Darius and of Alexander; when he invaded Judea Jaddua is said to have gone out in priestly robes to meet Alexander, and to have implored his goodwill toward the Jews (Josephus, Ant. 11:8, section 7; Neh 12:11-22). (See ALEXANDER.) The phrase “Darius the Persian” implies that the Grecian dynasty of Alexander the Great had begun.
2. Neh 10:21.

Jaddua
JADDUA.1. One of those who sealed the covenant (Neh 10:21). 2. A high priest (Neh 12:11; Neh 12:22). He is doubtless the Jaddua who is named by Josephus in connexion with Alexander the Great (Jos. [Note: Josephus.] Ant. XI. viii. 5, cf. vii. 2, viii. 7).

Jaddua
jadu-a, ja-dua (, yaddua, known):
(1) One of the chiefs of the people who with Nehemiah sealed the covenant, thus signifying their voluntary acceptance of the law and their solemn promise to submit to its yoke (Neh 10:21 (Hebrew 22)).
(2) Son of Jonathan or Johanan, and great-grandson of Eliashib, the high priest in Nehemiah’s time (Neh 12:11, Neh 12:22). He is the last of the high priests mentioned in the Old Testament, and held office during the reign of Darius the Persian, i.e. Darius III Codomannus, the last king of Persia (336-332 bc), who was overthrown by Alexander the Great. It is doubtless to him that Josephus refers in his romantic account of Alexander’s entrance into Jerusalem (Ant., XI, viii, 4 f; vii, 2; viii, 7).
