STEPBible TIPNR
Zichri was a priest who served as the head of the priestly family of Abijah during the time of Joiakim, the son of Jeshua, who was the high priest. He is mentioned in the list of priests and Levites who returned to Jerusalem after the Babylonian exile, as recorded in Nehemiah 12. The list is organized according to the heads of the priestly families, and Zichri is named as the representative of the family of Abijah. As the head of a priestly family, Zichri would have had responsibilities related to the organization and administration of the priests who served in the temple. The mention of Zichri in this context highlights the importance of the priestly families in maintaining the religious life of the community after the return from exile.
