Eliashib

A high priest in the days of Nehemiah, who took part in rebuilding of the wall of Jerusalem, Nehemiah 3:1. The same person probably was afterwards censured for profaning the temple, by giving the use of one of its chambers to a heathen and an Ammonite, his relative, De 23:3,4 Nehemiah 12:10 13:1-9.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Whom God will restore.

(1.) A priest, head of one of the courses of the priests of the time of David (1 Chronicles 24:12).

(2.) A high priest in the time of Ezra and Nehemiah (Nehemiah 12:22, 23). He rebuilt the eastern city wall (3:1), his own mansion being in that quarter, on the ridge Ophel (3:20, 21). His indulgence of Tobiah the Ammonite provoked the indignation of Nehemiah (13:4, 7).
