1. Ancestor of some who returned from exile (Ezra 2:60; Neh. 7:62).
2. The Ammonite, who was a bitter enemy to Nehemiah. He afterward became allied to Eliashib the priest, but Nehemiah turned out his goods from a chamber he occupied in the court of the house. Nehemiah said of him and others, “Ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial in Jerusalem” (Neh. 2:10,19; Neh. 4:3,7; Neh. 6:1-19; Neh. 13:4,8).
