Head of priestly family of Malluchi

Named in 1 chapter

Who is this

In Nehemiah 12:14, Jonathan is listed as the head of the priestly family of Malluchi (or Malluch) during the days of Joiakim the high priest. This was in the post-exilic period after the return from Babylon, likely in the late 5th century BC. The priests were organized into groupings called families, with a head over each family. Nehemiah 12 records the heads of priestly families in the generations after the first exiles returned under Jeshua the high priest (Nehemiah 12:1-7) and then in the time of the high priest Joiakim (Nehemiah 12:12-21).
