[1 Chronicles 6:4](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/6/4) **.** *Eleazar begat Phinehas.* A correct table of the Jewish highpriests would be very desirable to every lover of sacred literature. The best list I can collect is as follows: Aaron, Eleazar, Phinehas, Abishua, Bukki, Uzzi, Zerathiah, and Meraioth. Here Eleazar’s line suffered a chasm for the admission of Eli’s house, who filled the pontificate for seven generations; but God shortened their lives for their family’s sin. Some think that Abimelech whom Saul slew, with eighty four other priests, was not a highpriest, nor Abiathar his son, who fled to David. The latter was banished from the altar that God might accomplish the denunciation against the house of Eli. [1 Kings 3:27](../../../kjv/1-kings/3/27). Then follow Amariah, Ahitub, and Zadok. There were however, according to Josephus, from Aaron to Zadok thirteen highpriests; and from Zadok to the captivity eighteen; viz. Ahimaaz, Azariah, Johanan, Azariah or Ezriah, [2 Chronicles 26:17](../../../kjv/2-chronicles/26/17); Amariah, Ahitub, Zadok, Shallum, Hilkiah, Seraiah, Jehozadak, Jeshua, Jehoiakim, Eliashib or Ezra, Joiada, Jonathan, and Jaddua.
[1 Chronicles 6:14](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/6/14) **.** *Seraiah,* the highpriest, put to death in Riblah. [2 Kings 25:18](../../../kjv/2-kings/25/18); [2 Kings 25:21](../../../kjv/2-kings/25/21).
[1 Chronicles 6:39](../../../kjv/1-chronicles/6/39) **.** *Asaph,* author of twelve of the psalms.
