The meaning of Jehoiada in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)
Jehovah-known. The father of Benaiah, who was one of David's chief warriors (II Samuel 8:18; 20:23). The high priest at the time of Athaliah's usurpation of the throne of Judah. He married Jehosheba, or Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram (II Chronicles 22:11), and took an active part along with his wife in the preservation and training of Jehoash when Athaliah slew all the royal family of Judah. The plans he adopted in replacing Jehoash on the throne of his ancestors are described in II Kings 11:2; 12:2; 2Chr 22:11; 23:24. He was among the foremost of the benefactors of the kingdom, and at his death was buried in the city of David among the kings of Judah (II Chronicles 24:15,16). He is said to have been one hundred and thirty years old.
