MERAIOTH
Meraioth
(Hebrews Merayoth’, , rebellions; Sept. , , and v. r. ), the name of one or more leading priests.
1. The son of Zerahiah and father of Amariah, a high-priest of the line of Eleazar (1Ch 6:6-7; 1Ch 6:52; Ezr 7:3). BC. considerably ante 1062. It was thought by Lightfoot that he was the immediate predecessor of Eli in the office of high-priest, and that at his death the high-priesthood changed from the line of Eleazar to the line of Ithamar (Temple Service, iv, 1). In 1Ch 9:11; Neh 11:11, his name appears to have become transposed between those of Zadok and Ahitub, instead of its proper place after the latter, as may be seen from 1Ch 6:6-12. SEE HIGH-PRIEST.
2. A chief priest whose son Helkai was contemporary with the high-priest Joiakim (Neh 12:15); doubtless identical with the MEREMOTH of Neh 12:3.

Meraioth
1. Sprung from Eleazar, Aaron’s son; ancestor of Zadok and Ezra (1Ch 6:6). Lightfoot (Temple Serv. 4:1) thought that he was next before Eli, and that at his death the high priesthood passed from Eleazar’s to Ithamar’s line. Meraioth and Ahitub are perhaps transposed in Azariah’s genealogy (1Ch 9:11; Neh 11:11).
2. Neh 12:15; MEREMOTH in Neh 12:3.
