STEPBible TIPNR
Jehoiada was the father of one of David's warriors who commanded the Kerethites and Pelethites - the elite kings' guard. He first appears in 2Sa 8:18, and 1Ch 27:5 he is called a "priest". However this probably means some kind of non-religious official, in the same way that David's sons are described as "priests" in 2Sa 8:18.
