Jeroham

PelaliahEnglish

A priest from the tribe of Levi living at the time of Exile and Return, first mentioned at 1Ch.9.12.

Jeroham is mentioned in 1 Chronicles and Nehemiah as a priest, the father of Adaiah. Adaiah was one of the priests who served in the temple during the time of Nehemiah, after the Babylonian exile. He was a descendant of Malchijah, one of the priestly families. Jeroham's mention in these passages highlights the importance of priestly lineage and the role of the priests in the restoration of the temple and its services.
