Piltai is mentioned in Neh 12:17 as the head of the priestly family of Moadiah during the time of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, who served as the high priest in Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile. Piltai is listed among the heads of the priestly families who were recorded in the days of Joiakim (Neh 12:12-21).
