jad?us (Codex Vaticanus, Ἰαδδούς, Iaddoús; Codex Alexandrinus, Ἰοδδούς, Ioddoús): the King James Version has ?Addus? = Barzillai (Ezr_2:61; Neh_7:63). Jaddus was removed from the office of the priesthood because he could not prove his right to it after the return to Jerusalem under Zerubbabel (1 Esdras 5:38). He is called Barzillai in the. Old Testament, because he married Augia, the daughter of Zorzelleus (Barzillai the Gileadite, in the Old Testament). Compare BARZILLAI.
