Jezelus
(Ι᾿έζηλος), the Graecized form (in the Apocrypha) of the name of two Jews whose sons are said to have returned from Babylon with Ezra; but a comparison with the Hebrew text seems to indicate an identity or else confusion.
1. (Vulgate Zecheleus.) The father of Sechenias, of the sons of Zathoe (1Es_8:32); evidently the JAHAZIEL of Ezr_8:5.
2. (Vulg. Jehelus.) The father of Abadias, of the sons of Joab (1Es_8:35); evidently the JEHIEL of Ezr_8:9.
